For the Advisee
Some things to make your advisor/advisee relationship
easier: |
| 1. |
Contact and keep in touch with your advisor. |
| 2. |
Become familiar with your advisor's office
hours or schedule. |
| 3. |
Make and keep appointments or call if it
is necessary to change or cancel an appointment. |
| 4. |
Be willing to discuss concerns regarding
schoolwork, study habits, academic progress,
etc. |
| 5. |
Be open to discussions concerning careers
and selection of appropriate courses. |
| 6. |
Be willing to search out and use other sources
of information. |
| 7. |
Clarify some of your personal values and
goals prior to sessions with your advisor. |
| 8. |
Be prepared; have the necessary forms, and
have an idea of the type of schedule you desire. |
| 9. |
Become knowledgeable about policies, procedures,
and requirements. |
| 10. |
Accept responsibility for the decisions
to be made and the outcomes thereof. |
If it is necessary to drop in to see your
advisor without an appointment, try to do
so at a time when he/she is free, avoid
the busiest time of the day, and allow plenty
of time in case you have to wait. Your advisor
will have office hours posted on his/her
door.
The first and last two weeks of each semester
are the busiest for your advisor; please
schedule appointments.
Working effectively with your advisor takes
time and effort; the interaction is worthwhile.
Enjoy it!
