Tips from Academic Advising!
- Advising period is from October 16 – November 7
- Registration begins November 4 (learn when you can register in Navigator)
- Check your Navigator account to learn who is your faculty advisor; Navigator > Academic Progress > My Advisor
- Check your SSU email occasionally for an invite to schedule an appointment from your faculty advisor. Make sure you make an appointment during the advising period – many faculty are using Navigate Campaigns
- Schedule a meeting and add the meeting date to your calendar (with time and location)
- Check your Navigator/To Do List to see if there are any holds on your account. Holds will need to be resolved before you can register BUT YOU CAN STILL BE ADVISE
- Review your Degree Tracker in Navigator to list the courses you must satisfy for your general education, support courses, major and free electives. Create a list for your advising appointment
- Think about the track you want to take for the semester and how many credits/courses you want to register for
- Bring a laptop, iPad or notebook, if possible, to your meeting for notetaking or to review your Degree Tracker with your faculty advisor/build a shopping cart
- If switching your major, you need to contact Academic Advising – make an appointment via Navigate to be advised for your new major
- Schedule an “Advising Prep Session” meeting via Navigate with a peer advisor in academic advising or attend a workshop (check your SSU email for an invite)
- Always run your Degree Tracker after you register for courses to make sure you are on TRACK!
