PSEO Advising
advising 101:
Create an academic plan to get the most out of your courses! An academic plan (sometimes called a sequence of courses) is a map of the classes you'd like to take. This plan should be focused on high school graduationg requirements AND your academic goals. Your academic plan should include input from both your high school counselor and PSEO advisor.
Did you know that PSEO students have designated staff that can help them answer their common questions and plan purposeful and meaningful courses?
A typical appointment may cover:
- Courses required to meet general education requirements
- Courses required for your intended major
- If you're unsure of what you'd like to major in, your advisor will help you narrow your choices down
- Transferring credits
Research continues to support the idea that students who utilize their academic advisor are more likely to feel engaged in their educational experience and therefore more likely to persist (stay in school) and graduate. Taking advantage of the expertise within the PSEO Office and on campus will help improve your academic experience.
PSEO staff can't answer questions on which courses meet your high school graduation requirements. You must meet with your high school counselor to help find university courses that meet your high school's graduation requirements. We recommend meeting with your high school before meeting your PSEO advisor.
College specific advising
