Turning Stress into Success
Effective academic advising at SEMO relies on preparation and open communication to help students navigate stress, course selection, and workload, leading to a smoother path to academic success.
Preparation and Communication
Advisors prepare for advising by gathering information about each student and their academic journey. For Mass Media Advisor Michael Simmons, this process starts with Degree Works, where he gathers information on students' credits in their major and/or minor.
- Classes completed by the student
- Remaining requirements for their major/minor
- Completion of general education requirements
Simmons stresses the importance of having a sit-down, in-depth meeting with your advisor.
This approach highlights the critical role effective communication and preparation play in transforming stress into success for students at SEMO.
