Do if you have scheduled an appointment with an academic advisor, prepare for your meeting by bringing a list of questions with you to direct your academic discussions & ensure that you have not forgotten to ask any vitally important questions.

Do take the initiative by actively seeking advise from all of your “advisors” these sources often include your instructors, family, friends, mentors, & faculty.

Don’t expect discussions to focus only on scheduling issues.  Some of our best meetings with students are a result of students bringing a variety of questions to our attention.

Do stay informed about policies, deadlines & requirements; also verify your understanding of major requirements by reading the Queens College Bulletin, departmental websites & by visiting the Academic Advising Center.
