准备您的咨询预约
Being prepared ahead of your advising appointment is the key to a successful session. Your advisor is a partner; a guide to assist you with navigating your path at Fisk and helping to prepare you for graduate studies or the transition into your chosen career. Please be advised, students are primarily for understanding and fulling all the degree requirements of your chosen program of study.
To ensure that you capitalize on the appointment time to discuss these topics, it is crucial that students arrive to their session with a clear understanding of their degree requirements and have a general plan for the next semester’s courses.
为了准备您的会议，请考虑以下提示:

Come with Questions
考虑在咨询会议上提出问题. 记住，如果你不明白什么，请问清楚.
尽早和经常联系
Scheduling an appointment and including your specific needs allows advisors time to research your issue and or find the answer to your question ahead of your meeting time. 记住，建议不仅仅是选择课程. They are a resource. Your advisor helps you apply your classroom knowledge to outside opportunities through service projects, research opportunities, and possible internships. Ideally, you should plan to meet with your advisor 1 or 2 times per semester. Always be on time for your appointments and communicate if you need to change the date and or time.
Learn to Self-Advocate
诚实地面对你的环境和你需要什么才能成功. Have this conversation early. Be proactive!
Know your Next Steps
总是在离开会议时知道自己的下一步. 如果有任何办公室/工作人员/教师你需要见面, ensure that you have location and contact info (name/email/phone) for them prior to leaving the meeting.
Follow-Through
每个人都在为你的成功投资. When an advisor refers you to a specific office or expresses concerns about your attendance or performance, 对他们的担忧和建议持开放态度，并坚持到底.
