ADVISING APPOINTMENTS

If you have completed your Graduation Planning (remaining coursework laid out in a plan with a Google Doc) please allow other students to schedule for advising at this time.  

Any student that has 3-4 semesters remaining after this Fall should have a long term academic plan in place to help with preparing for graduation.

All others—DO NOT delay advising;  Schedule for advising on the COB advisor calendar.   Please schedule in advance as my calendar will fill, sometimes for a full week in advance, during registration time.

Note:  During your October Recess (Thurs, Oct 17 and Fri, Oct 18) the University remains open and the COB Undergrad Advisor will be here during that time, available to meet.

Prior to your advising appointment…

  • Run your Audit (uAchieve Degree Audit) *tip: Run “Latest” vs. a possible program from the drop down menu. Using the drop down will bring up an audit using the 2024-25 degree requirements; not YOUR Catalog Term note: General Business student audits will track progress but it is not for a degree.
  • Review your degree completion progress and requirements left
  • Note any questions or concerns about your Audit
  • Develop a proposed course list as well as summer courses
  • Consider any goals you want to discuss (Study Abroad, Internship, and more)

Pitfalls to avoid:

  • Verify you don’t have holds (parking tickets, unpaid bills, discipline, safety first, etc)
  • Course descriptions can be found hyperlinked in your audit or online at https://www.mtu.edu/catalog/courses/ 
  • Be sure you meet any restrictions for a course such as class standing (refer to descriptions above)
  • Look at prerequisites courses to ensure you have taken them (flowcharts will help identify prereqs as well as course descriptions)
  • Check course availability and develop a schedule to avoid time conflicts (Spring and Summer schedule is live-must be logged into Banweb and here is the link)
