Our Advisors

Tips for preparing for an advisement appointment:

 

  • Review your JagTrax degree audit to ensure there are no discrepancies with your credits and how they are satisfying requirements for your degree.
  • Keep an updated copy of your academic program’s track sheet and program pathway to bring to your advisement appointment. Students can request a program track sheet from their Academic Advisor.
  • Anticipate building a balanced schedule with a target of 15-16 credit hours each term. Note: this may not be possible for students with large loads of advanced placement, dual enrollment or transfer credit.
  • Write down questions that you wish to address with your Advisor during your advising appointment.

Tips for preparing for registration:

 

  • Review the course suggestions that you and your advisor discussed. If you have questions or would like to make changes, contact your Advisor prior to your registration date.
  • Ensure that you know when your registration date is. To view your registration date:
    • Log into POUNCE.
    • Click “Student.”
    • Click “Registration.”
    • Click “Registration Menu.”
    • Select "View Registration Information."
  • Resolve any holds you may have that would prevent your registration. Holds Information can be found on the Registrar’s website under the “Students” tab at the top.
  • Create your schedule in either Schedule Planner or POUNCE Registration. This should be done BEFORE your registration day.
  • When in doubt, contact your Advisor as soon as you encounter problems either with scheduling or registering.
