Students who are new to Trinity are immediately assigned  to the SPS New Student Advisor. The New Student Advisor facilitates initial  registration and transition to a permanent advisor. In addition, the Advising  office coordinates orientation for undergraduate and graduate students, assists  students in entering the Trinity Experiential Lifelong Learning (TELL) program  and in the assessment of prior learning.
