Students who prepare for their advising appointments will find their meetings to be more informative, efficient, and helpful.

PREPARING FOR YOUR ADVISING APPOINTMENT:

• Schedule your advising appointment as soon as possible whenever you need any assistance. Advisors' schedules fill up quickly, especially during peak registration times.
• For appointments related to registering and/or selecting classes, try to plan ahead by reviewing your Degree Audit and/or Degree Map to identify requirements/courses you still need.
• Use Schedule Planner to select potential courses and generate class schedule options to review with your FY advisor during your scheduled advising appointment.
• Bring a list of questions or concerns you would like to discuss and any documents you and your advisor have worked from in the past.

THE ADVISING SESSION

• Be honest and realistic as you discuss your concerns and questions.
• Share your goals and educational priorities.
• Follow up on previous recommendations in a timely manner.
• Be open-minded. Consider the possible alternatives offered to you by your advisor.
