Meet with an Academic Advisor to Plan for Academic Success

An academic advisor is much like your high school counselor. You will build a relationship with your advisor and they will help you decide what path to take in order to get the education you want and take the classes you need, on time and in the most effective order. You should meet with your academic advisor at least once per semester.
