When meeting with your advisor:

  • Come with a list of questions you want to ask. Try to be as specific as possible.
  • Look up that relate to your questions.
  • Tell your advisor as much as you can about why you're meeting with them. The more they know about your situation, the more they can help you.
  • Your meeting is held in confidence, so prepare to engage in a discussion beyond course choice and program options.
