Tips for successful advising appointments

• See your advisor every term, even if it isn't required.
• Come prepared for your advising appointment by bringing any questions you have so your advisor can address them.
• Arrive on time for your appointment. If you are late, you are cheating yourself of time with your advisor. Call or go on line to cancel an appointment you cannot keep.
• Use your advisor as a resource. Advisors are familiar with many programs and services on campus. If you do not know where to go for help, let your advisor point you in the right direction.
• Please be respectful and professional - Refrain from any cell phone use or texting during your appointment.
