At a minimum, students are required to meet with their academic advisor at least once each semester but we encourage you to seek out your advisor throughout the semester. This is the single most important piece of advice that we can offer. Students who build a mentoring relationship with an advisor are the students who are more likely to participate in discussion about career and life goals, internships, studying abroad, academic assistance, and other areas important to student success at UNCG. Additionally, students who attend their advising sessions and come prepared are often the students who can register on time and for the most appropriate courses according to major, ensuring that a timely graduation is an easily attainable goal.
