Ask them to fill up their “shopping carts” in PowerCAMPUS Self-Service and bring their catalog to the session.
How to email all advisees:
a. Log-on to PowerCAMPUS Self-Service
b. Go to Student Advising (left column)
c. Scroll down to “My advisees” and type in the appropriate year and enter
e. Click the envelope icon in left corner above the list of advisees
f. Click email
g. write message
h. cc yourself for your records

- Get to know your advisee OR familiarize yourself with the ones you know
- Authorize registration with your advisee: once they are seated in your office*
- Check current grades
- Discuss any success or problem areas in current classes: make referrals when necessary
- Check Academic Plan and Major/Minor
- Discuss potential major or progress within major and concentration, discuss career plans and options
- Begin PowerCAMPUS Self-Service course scheduling, and discuss course sequencing (see website for four-year plans, requirements, course rotations, etc.)
- Finalize schedule
- Un-authorize student in PowerCAMPUS Self-Service **
*In order for students to receive proper guidance in course selection, never authorize students to work on their schedules in PowerCAMPUS Self-Service independently and without your guidance. When authorizing students for registration, never submit the "select all" button!!
