How to prepare for your academic advising appointment

Advisors support your educational planning by providing the tools & information needed to make informed decisions. We work with you to:

  • Clarify your educational goals
  • Help develop your academic success skills
  • Facilitate access to available resources and services

Here are some tips to ensure a successful meeting with your advisor:

1

Schedule your meeting as early as possible

Booking your meeting ahead of time will ensure that you have plenty of time to consider your options before you need to make a decision.

2

Take time to reflect on yourself

Reflect on your personal journey, your academic and career goals and expectations, and be ready to share them with your advisor.

3

Review program information

Review the resources that are relevant to the program(s) you are interested in or have applied to:

  1. Program information on the Academic Calendar
  2. Course descriptions
  3. Program planning guides
4

Write down your questions

Write down your questions as you work through these resources and bring them to your advising appointment. If you don't understand something, ask for clarifications.
