Preparing for Your Advising Appointment

❑ Your Waubonsee student email for appointment reminders and information your Advisor may have already sent you

❑ How to register for classes and Registration, Refund, and Withdrawal Dates for the semester

❑ For any active registration holds and your registration status on your student profile in Self Service (*after clicking Launch Student Profile, look for your registration holds and status in the upper right corner of your profile)

❑ A general idea of classes you want to take next semester. Use course descriptions (pages 92-149 in the college catalog) to note any classes you would like to explore more with your Advisor

❑ A list of questions and topics you want to cover with your Advisor – what information do you want to walk away with after your appointment?

❑ Your availability and preferences for class times and modality and your plan for form of payment

❑ A copy of your unofficial college transcript if you have attended another college. Email it to the Advisor you are meeting with prior to your appointment.

❑ A copy of your current academic plan. Email your Advisor if you need an updated copy. Please note: if this is your first semester advising appointment, your Advisor will provide your academic plan during your appointment

❑ Notebook or device to take notes during your appointment. This will help you remember important dates, information, and next steps recommended by your Advisor.
