What we will cover today • Explanation of the advising role • General education • First semester recommendations • Question and answer time

Advising is a Collaborative Relationship As a student at SIUE, you can expect your advisor to: • Discuss your life and career goals, and help you identify major options • Help you plan your coursework to make the most of your time • Provide resources and campus referrals that will maximize your success • Help with your adjustment to university life

Why am I undeclared? • The majority of students start as undeclared and are advised in the Office of Academic Advising • Upon meeting the declaration requirements for their majors, students move on to an advisor in their major department

When do I see my advisor?

• At least once a semester, prior to course registration • Spring semester advising: SeptemberOctober • Fall semester advising: February-March • If you are considering a change in major/minor or want to add/drop a class

• If you’re not sure, just ask!

Where can I find my advisor?

• Student Success Center, Suite 1220 (next to Kaldi’s Coffee) • In your residence hall!

• Appointments available on Starfish, via Blackboard • siue.edu/oaa
