Schedule your advising meeting in advance in accordance with the instructions and preferences of your advisor.
Check your progress toward program completion in Student Planning. Write down any questions you have, and consider the courses you still need to take to complete your program.
Review the course offerings for the coming semester(s). If the courses that interest you aren't already planned in Student Planning, add them to your plan and discuss with your advisor.
Consider your other commitments for the semester (work schedule, childcare schedule, practice schedule, etc.) and write them down. Be prepared to discuss when you can and cannot take classes with your advisor.
How much time can you devote to school this semester? How many classes do you want to take?
Consider and reconsider your academic and career goals. Are these goals still right for you? Be ready to talk with your advisor about this.
Do you have a transfer institution in mind? Be ready to discuss this with your advisor, as the requirements of the transfer institution may affect which courses you should take at NIC.
Write down any other questions that you have (how long until completing the degree? current struggles in one or more courses?). Bring your list to your advisor during the meeting.
