Academic Advising

Before You Set Sail on Your Educational Journey, Map Out a Course that is Right for You!

 

When planning your schedule, consider the following factors:
 
  • Balance your life and work commitments (complete Staying Afloat Assessment on the next page)
 
  • Balance your academic schedule (Is there a good mix of general education, major classes, electives, etc?)
 
  • What is the rationale for each course that I have selected? (Know the reasons for selecting each course - complete the chart below)
 
  • Content and style of course (Is the course in lecture format or will it include labs?)
 
  • Prerequisites for courses (Have I met the prerequisites for the course or is the course a prerequisite for a future course?)
 
  • Time in class – (How often does the class meet?)
 
In the chart below list several courses that you might be interested in taking this semester. For each course selected, consider the rationale for each course. Some courses will clearly be required for general education or your major. Other choices might be exploratory or are classes to test your abilities. List several possibilities.
