Advising Checklist for Undergraduate Students
Before your advising session:
- Print a copy of your degree audit.
- Use Schedule Builder to help plan your schedule.
- Determine any outstanding university and core curriculum requirements.
- Determine which major requirements are outstanding.
- Determine if any courses you plan to take have prerequisites that you have not completed. Course descriptions and prerequisites are listed in the Bradley University catalogs.
- Create at least two proposed schedules for the upcoming term, including alternate courses in case any of your preferred courses are closed.
- Decide if you are comfortable with the course load and courses.
- Develop a list of questions you would like to ask your advisor.
- As you near graduation, determine the semester in which you plan to complete your degree.
During your advising session:
- Clarify outstanding university, core curriculum, and major requirements with your advisor.
- Review your degree audit with your advisor. If an adjustment needs to be made, ask your advisor to submit a “Degree Audit Exception Form” to the Office of the Registrar. You must check your degree audit to confirm that the adjustment occurred.
- Show your tentative schedule to your advisor, and ask your advisor for suggestions about alternate courses.
- Have a list of questions ready for your advisor. If your advisor cannot answer a question, ask for a referral to another office or department. If possible, get the name of the person who might be able to answer your question.
