Proper advising is crucial to ensure that the appropriate courses are being selected/taken and that your graduation plan is met.
Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior: you must discuss all of your academic issues (e.g., pre-registration for the upcoming semester, dropping and/or adding courses, withdrawing from courses) with your advisor.
