Do not put all your studying off until evening or the day before a test. Make a detailed schedule each semester and allow blocks of time for studying specific subjects. Find a place to study that best suits your needs. Find a place where you will not be disturbed and can return to on a regular basis. If effective advising is to take place, it is essential that you and your adviser get to know each other.
Frequent discussions are important.
Your adviser is familiar with the University rules, regulations, and degree programs, and at pre-registration will help you develop a schedule for next semester. The Faculty Faculty members take their teaching very seriously and they expect you to take studying seriously. Take advantage of this opportunity. If a particular faculty member's office hours do not fit your schedule, ask to make a specific appointment. The Associate Deans in each college are there to provide information, assistance, and services of an academic nature.
