Planning Your Schedule
Meeting with your academic adviser:
  • Make an appointment to meet with your academic adviser through the Student Services office (101 West Building).  We ask that you make your appointment at least 24 hours in advance.
  • On the day of your appointment, bring a photo ID (your BGSU ID or your driver's license) to the Student Services office and pick up your advising file.  Advising files are not given out without proper identification!  (Please note that some advisers prefer to pick up advising files personally before they meet with advisees.)
  • Be careful with your advising file as it contains valuable information that allows your adviser to do the best job possible in advising you.
  • Go to your adviser's office at the scheduled time and give him/her your advising file.  Please be on time to meet your adviser!  If you cannot make the scheduled day/time to meet your adviser, please contact your adviser or the Student Services office.
  • Take some time to discuss with your adviser the courses you plan to take, as well as your future academic plans.
  • Remember that your adviser is the expert in your major field of study.  Be sure to ask what questions you may have, especially if you are not familiar with course content, course prerequisites, or course sequencing.
  • Also remember that you alone bear all responsibility for meeting your graduation requirements.  Thus, meeting with an adviser is always strongly recommended even if you've been here for many years.
