Bring copies of transcripts. • Read the sections in the catalog about your major (catalog is available on-line).

Advisors can only assist you if they know what issues you may be facing.

Failure to do so may result in your taking unnecessary classes and prolonging your time to graduation. • If you receive a grade of D or F in any class that you are currently taking- you must inform your advisor as adjustments to your schedule will need to be made. • Please register for your class as soon as possible- advising holds may be placed within 24-48 hours and removing the hold will require that you re-visit the advising center. • Courses with section numbers 98 or R50 are on-line classes. Additional fees may apply to R50 classes.

  13. After advising • Keep all records in folder. Don’t lose these- and bring this folder to future advising meetings. • Follow up with any issues you may still have (email or call is okay too). • Keep us informed about your success- we want to celebrate your success as a TSU Tiger!
