Your advisor is usually a professor(s) in your college(s) who can assist you in selecting or changing courses each semester. You traditionally meet with your advisor once a semester during advisement and this is the last step before registering for the next semester.
During advisement, you both discuss what courses you should take the following semester. DO NOT expect your advisor to do the heavy lifting, it is on you to see what courses are available, fit in your schedule, and check required courses on progress tab in Self Service.
Once your planned schedule is approved, your advisor will mark your advisement complete in Self-Service. Then you be able to register once your registration window opens. You can find the registration schedule on the Records page.
