Transition with Purpose: Pathways from English Language to Academic Study

128 PART 1: TIME MANAGMENT Schedule an appointment with your major academic advisor. If you schedule by email, CC your Pathways instructor or forward the email confirmation to your Pathways instructor. Most advisors on campus now use an online scheduling system in which students can make their appointment directly in the advisor’s calendar. The system generates an automatic email confirmation. 1. Put your appointment on your Google Calendar. 2. Save the confirmation email that confirms your appointment. PART 2: PREPARE FOR MEETING Complete the Academic Advising Appointment Form on the next page before your advising meeting. Your questions should be focused and specific in order to make the best use of the time that you have scheduled. PART 3: CONFIRMATION At the end of your advising appointment, ask your advisor sign the bottom of the conference form and return the form to your Pathways instructor. Explain to your advisor that the signature is simply a confirmation that you attended the meeting.
