Supporting the Advising/Counseling of Students

Advising/Counseling is an academic function that tends to be very different from one campus to another.  However these are done, the topics in the University Survival website might be supportive.

Consider the following advising/counseling roles.  With each role there are listed topics that might be helpful to students (and possibly their advisor/counselors).

 

Advising/Counseling Issues Relevant Topics
Course Scheduling
  • Understanding How to Create an Effective Schedule
  • Using the Schedulizer Website

 
Major/Minor Selection
  • Deciding to Do a Minor
  • Making the Decision to Transfer College or Change Majors
  • Lengthening Your Stay in College

 
Building on the College Experience
  • Deciding on Doing a Study Abroad
  • Deciding on Graduate School
  • Making Summer Plans

 
Financial Difficulties See the entire section on Financing Your Education
Academic Difficulties See the entire sections on

  • Developing the Discipline to Do Well
  • Being an Efficient Learner
  • Ensuring You Receive the Grade You Want
  • Managing the Personal Side of the Transition to College

Generally these topics work best when the student is guided by an advisor in the selection of the best topic.  Once topics are selected for the student, the advisor and student can discuss the specific actions the student will take or the decision that needs to be made.

The topic content should be viewed as a starting point for the discussion.  Hopefully the content will help students work through the dimensions of the issue they are facing. .

Testimonials

  • This semester I have made some big improvements to not only my school work, but to all aspects of college life.  I have become a lot more time efficient.  I have learned a lot of better ways to study, such as making flash cards and using new note taking strategies.  I have also started going to class 15 minutes before it starts so I have time to get all of my stuff organized and ready for class.  I also plan on using my agenda more effectively.  I have really struggled with my time management skills this semester.  They are slightly better this semester compared to last, but not as good as I would have liked them to be at this point.  I have done a lot better with classes this semester though.  I have gone to allmost all of my classes this semester.  I have also done really well with homework..
