How to prepare for your advising appointment

Here are some helpful hints on how to prepare for your academic advising appointment:

• Print off your DAR. (From the MSUM homepage, click on E-services. Log on and select “Grades and Transcripts” on the left hand side. Then select “Interactive Degree Audit Report.” There is a “Printer Friendly” version that can be selected under the graphs on the left hand side of the page)
• Create a draft of a course schedule. Be sure to include some alternative courses and times.
• Be prepared to talk with your advisor about liberal studies, your major, internships, graduate school, etc.
• Write down any questions you have.
• Be sure you know your access code after leaving your appointment.
• Register when your registration window opens.
