What to Expect in an Advising Appointment

LSJ academic advisers are here to work with you to navigate your degree and explore opportunities that impact your academic progress and career planning. The advisers work with you to plan for short-term and long-term goals. 

Here are examples of how you can work with an academic adviser:

  • Prepare to apply: See an LSJ academic adviser to talk about applying to LSJ. Advisers can answer questions and provide tips for preparing your application.
  • Degree planning: As a student you may decide to double major, double degree, add on a minor or two, or plan for other experiential learning opportunities. The LSJ academic advisers can help you make plans to help keep you on track and taking full advantage of opportunities.
  • Study Abroad: Explore study abroad opportunities through winter and summer opportunities or early fall start! Work with an LSJ adviser to see how courses can be used toward your LSJ requirements.
  • Graduate: Apply to graduate and finalize your academic plans with an adviser. Get graduating senior priority (GSP) registration allowing you to register for classes the Friday before seniors. Students can apply to graduate once they have earned 135 credits (senior status). It's recommended to apply to graduate two quarters early in order to utilize your GSP registration status for your final two quarters. 

We encourage you to schedule an appointment with our office to have any questions answered!
