The information on this page answers some of the most frequently asked questions about the advisement process…

What to bring for Advisement?

Advisement Tips

1. Contact your advisor anytime you have questions and do it early before the situation becomes a problem!
2. Prepare your graduation plan ASAP.
3. Complete courses required for entrance to the Department of Business and Economics.
4. Take LSTU-303 whenever it is offered as it is conducted by another department, and it is taught only every other year.
5. Take GEO-302 whenever it is offered as it is taught in another department.
6. Discuss electives and internship with students as well as your advisor.
7. Start planning for your internship 1 year in advance.

To do this requires both your advisor and you continuously working together.
