Advising for Spring 2010

We are currently scheduling appointments for students who are on academic probation and students who wish to be advised for spring 2010.  If you have yet to declare your major or you are exploring possible majors, you can make an appointment with an advisor in our office to discuss your spring 2010 schedule.  Please call our appointment line, 974-4483, or come by the office to schedule an appointment with an advisor.

If you have declared your major or are in a different college, you must be seen by that major or college to be cleared for spring.  Advisors in this office cannot clear declared majors.

Ways to Prepare for an Advising Appointment

  1. Understand degree requirements of colleges and majors you are considering
  2. Know the University’s advising policy, and schedule your advising appointment early.
  3. Be prompt for your appointment.
  4. Review the curriculum before your appointment.
  5. Explore University resources.
  6. Be aware of drop/add deadlines and additional University requirements.
  7. Read course descriptions to be aware of any prerequisites and corequisites.
  8. Prepare a list of questions for you and your advisor to discuss.
  9. Know what courses are being offered by reviewing the timetable on Circle Park Online.
  10. Review your DARS report.
