Advising Checklist For Undergraduate Students
Before your advising session:
- Print a copy of your uAchieve degree audit.
- Use Schedule Builder to help plan a few optimal course schedules.
- 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 available in the Bradley University catalogs.
- Decide if you are comfortable with the course load and courses.
- Develop a list of questions you would like to ask your academic 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 uAchieve degree audit with your academic advisor. If an adjustment needs to be made, ask your advisor to submit a “Degree Audit Exception Form” to the Office of the Registrar. This form may be used to assign approved transfer courses to major requirements or for approved course substitutions in major requirements. You must check your degree audit to confirm that the adjustment occurred.
- Show your course schedule to your academic advisor and ask your advisor for suggestions about alternate courses.
- Have a list of questions for your academic advisor ready. 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.
