1 ADVISING REMINDERS 1. Relax! Allow ample time for appointments. 2. Check student s program and advisor in Datatel (SASM). 3. Pull student s folder with educational plan. If it is a new student, start an educational plan and make a folder later. 4. Use class schedule form or registration form to plan schedule. 5. Check academic credits in Datatel (STAC). STRONGLY ENCOURAGE student to take developmental, ACA, and CIS classes first. Even though a class is listed, they may not have received credit for it. Check carefully! If there is a question about noncourse credit, check test scores in Datatel (TSUM). 6. Check catalog for prerequisites and corequisites. Do not depend on Datatel alerts. They can be misleading. 7. Check nursing criteria. Prerequisites Courses for points (A or B) Science classes time out after 5 years. 8. Check graduation requirements using educational plan. 9. After registration, recheck folders. Everyone is accountable in the registration process!!!!!
