You should meet with your advisor at least once a semester and to discuss:

• Course selection prior to registration
• Adding or dropping courses or taking a course credit/no credit, and how this will affect your standing, financial aid, insurance, or other issues
• Options for majors and/or minors, you are thinking about changing directions, or just want to talk to someone to clarify your thoughts about how well a particular major may fit you
• Any problems which affect academic performance, including academic progress and personal strengths and challenges
• Concerns about your study skills or difficulties with your coursework
• Academic probation or jeopardy of dismissal
• Career choices, study abroad, internships, practicums, and graduate programs
• University policies and procedures
• Final graduation requirements (at least one semester prior to event)

If you are exploring a major, minor, or a particular career interest but have not yet declared a major, you are also encouraged to talk to an advisor, the department chair or a faculty member in the department which offers that major/minor. In fact, talk to several people about these decisions. The more information you gather, the better your decisions will be.
