If you don’t have a mandatory advising requirement – meet with your academic advisor like you do have one. The appointments are free, short if you are on track and can save you money and time by avoiding mistakes in registering. College academic advisors are subject matter experts. They know all the tricks and can make suggestions based on their past experiences and those of the students who came before you. Part of the job of an academic advisor is direct you to resources (both academic and non-academic). Ask for help if you need it, think you might need it. I, the Honors academic advisor, am available to meet with you by appointment, just email Honors@wichita.edu and we can work out a time or just come in when the sign on the door is set to “Welcome Please Knock”. This means I’m expecting students to just show up and start asking random questions.
