All the info on the classes you need is readily available. You should be aligning your classes yourself on what direction you want.

Even if your state doesn’t allow a one party consent recording record anyway, what are they gonna do put you in jail? 😏

I want to be an academic advisor but this makes me sad if this is the culture of it 😳 why can’t we just help people.

And if you can’t record them, get it in writing. A simple “can you send me that in an email?” goes a long way when they say something different later

the colleges should hold risk of the loans they originate, this would change thier behavior overnight

1) it’s not admissions making your schedule every semester, it’s academic advising. 2) advisors do not make enough money to purposefully make sure you

Are you saying record without consent only if it’s a one party consent state right?

Yep. The first time I went to my advisor she told me to sign up for Econ and calculus which I did not need for my major. I never went back

sorry but degree requirements are readily available on most school’s website, if you’re expecting hand holding from your advisor thats what can happen

I've tried explaining this and undergrads don't get it. Only one invested in your future is You! I went by what was listed online for my major!

My academic advisor told me "honestly for the IT field as soon as you get an internship you'll be set, and won't really have a reason to graduate" 😂

My freshmen advisor was only for undecided students and she made me fall so behind that I have to take summer courses to graduate on time

I’m in my final year. Look at your major’s degree audit. Plan what courses are offered in different semesters. Advisors are a last resort.

After they pushed me back a year, I started planning my own schedule bc they are so completely useless

cheeseburt :
in elite schools though, they want to keep their graduation rates high as to be competitive for top talent. it can negatively affect their rankings.

Mallory :
Ask for a degree sheet your freshman year so if they change anything it shouldn’t apply to when you were admitted
