How do I prepare to meet with an advisor?

To prepare for your advising appointment, complete the following steps: 

1. Review the roadmap for your major in the University Catalog.  
2. Read over your GPS Audit to determine what courses you still need  (See Flashline > Advising and GPS > GPS Audit and Plan). You may also use the B.B.A. University and Major Requirement sheets to identify what requirements you still need to complete. 
3. Review any previous GPS created by an advisor. To view your GPS plans, select the PLANS tab at the top of your GPS Audit screen.  View the recommended courses and decide whether the course options still fit within your academic plan. 
4. Use our Pre-Advising Worksheet to prepare information and questions for your advisor. 
5. If you need Kent Core Courses, review the list before meeting with an advisor to determine your preferred courses. 
6. We do recommend students bring a laptop to their advising appointment in case they wish to make changes to their courses or submit a form while with the advisor.
