Helping Your Student

 


Keys to Helping Your Student
  • Make sure your student knows how to contact his/her academic advisor.

  •  Discuss your student"s responsibility for making sure that he/she is on the right track.  The faculty advisor is an excellent resource for help in this area.

  • Know when pre-registration for the next semester will be.  Make sure your student makes an appointment with their advisor to discuss next semester courses, long range academic planning, and progress through the major. 

  • Discuss your student’s academic progress.  Know the deadline for withdrawing from classes  for the current semester. (See Advising Calendar)

  • Encourage your student to become involved in campus life, their academic major’s clubs, and research activities.
