Suggested Meeting Outlines (Preparing for Advisee Meetings)

As you prepare to meet with your undeclared advisees at different times of the year, you’ll likely want to discuss different things. To assist you in preparing for these meetings, we have prepared several resources:

8/4 Guide to Undeclared Advising (PDF format)
The “8/4 Guide” offers suggestions for each individual meeting with your advisees during the first two years.

Suggested Outlines for Orientation Meetings with Parents and Students (PDF format)

Sample Advising Syllabus (Word format)
The “Advising Syllabus” places some of that information into a syllabus-like format so you can distribute it to your advisees, thereby giving them some sense of what is to come in the year ahead.
