Turning Stress into Success: Effective Academic Advising at SEMO
Effective academic advising at Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) relies on preparation and open communication to help students navigate stress, course selection, and workload, leading to a smoother path to academic success.
The Role of Preparation and Communication
In the ever-evolving landscape of academic advising, the experiences of SEMO students highlight the critical role of effective communication and preparation in transforming stress into success.
Preparing for Advising Sessions
Advisors prepare for advising sessions by gathering information about each student and their academic journey. For Mass Media Advisor Michael Simmons, this process starts with Degree Works, which provides information on students' credits in their major and/or minor.
- Simmons gathers information on completed classes
- He reviews remaining requirements for the major/minor
- He checks the status of general education (gen Ed) requirements
Simmons stresses the importance of having a sit-down, in-depth meeting with your advisor.
