Know when you are available for class and best able to learn and study. Reflect on personal, educational and career goals.
Determine whether you will transfer to a four-year degree program. Use the college catalog to know about program prerequisites and sequencing.

Be fully engaged during the advising session.

Be open and honest. Ask questions if something is unclear or if there are concerns.
Share interests, goals, and skills so the advisor can offer appropriate feedback. Take responsibility for making decisions.
