Advising FAQs

Yes! All students are encouraged me meet with their advisor multiple times throughout the semester but especially before registering or making schedule changes.

Academic Advising requires engagement and participation from students and advisors. Before your appointment, we encourage you to do your PART:

• P – Prepare talking points for your appointment. What are some questions you want to focus on with your advisor?
• A – Accountable: Bring paper, pencil, computer, etc. so you can TAKE NOTES during your appointment.
• R – Respectful: As a courtesy, please be on time for your appointment with your advisor and communicate if you are late or need to cancel. Our advisors will do the same.
• T – Transparent: Please share as much information as you are comfortable disclosing so your advisor can better understand your questions and identify the best options for you.

All communication from your advisor contains a personal appointment scheduling link that takes you straight to their available appointments.

Check your student email for communication from your advisor, or look at your student profile in OneACCS.
