The focus of planning appointments, which occur in September and October and last about 30 minutes, is to consider your academic strategy as a whole—choosing next semester’s courses, discussing your major and elective areas, and talking about campus resources. You and your advisor also will go over your Degree Audit and check your progress toward satisfying the course requirements for the General Education Program and your major.

You’ll also discuss how to prepare for early registration, talk about issues that affect your graduation plan, confirm your upcoming registration date, and discuss avoidable circumstances that may delay early registration (i.e., missing vaccination documentation or delinquent U-bills).

Planning appointments also provide the opportunity to talk about anything that worries you, from open major-induced insecurity and roommate concerns, to finding a tutor. Learning to handle issues like these is your first step in finding your own way through the University.
