Questions for Your Advisor

I encourage you to ask your advisor other questions during your meeting. You may be curious about . . .

  • Can I change majors? How does changing majors affect financial aid or graduation date?
  • What should I do if I fail a course?
  • If I begin to struggle academically, can I meet with you for advice?
  • Am I required to maintain a certain grade point average to complete this major?
  • Will you be my advisor throughout my program at HCC?
  • What elective classes do you recommend for someone in my major?
  • Can you recommend an instructor for _________________ (a specific course you will be taking)?
  • I am having trouble with ______________. Can you help?

What other questions do you have for the advisor? Write down your questions in advance of your meeting so that you are fully prepared.
