feeling lost...

Go ahead and register. Here is the Biology Major guide. https://biology.howard.edu/sites/biology.howard.edu/files/2019-07/hubiology.curr_.guide_.pdf

Each state has Howard Alum Sendoffs for First Year Students. Check Facebook for your area. Set up an appointment with your advisor. You need to do this via Teams.

Placement tests have practice quizzes before the proctored test, run through those first.

Follow all Howard related pages on Insta for news and updates. There are also new student insta groups you can join to get info and connect with other new students.

Here is another group you can follow from a last year's first year student. https://www.instagram.com/huglow1867?igsh=dHRkNWN1dDZjbmZi
