While reviewing courses, prepare for your advising appointment by listing courses you would like to take this next semester and bring your list with you to your advising appointment.

To prepare for your advising appointment:

• Review your degree requirements on your Degree Audit
• Prepare a list of possible courses for next semester.
• Use Course Listings to determine if the courses are offered.
• Use the schedule grid available on BIC Connection Blackboard to plan a possible schedule.
• Bring both your degree audit and your possible schedule to your advising appointment, along with your undergraduate catalog.
• Check Bearweb to determine if you need to meet with other departments for advising, as well.
• Refer to our Major Academic Planners (MAPs) if you are thinking about changing your major.
