Why it matters
Degree requirements, prerequisites and policies get complicated, and a wrong course choice can cost a term. An advisor can spot those problems early.
Schools organize advising differently: some assign you one advisor, others have advising offices by faculty or major. Your student portal usually says who yours is.
How Dash helps with academic advising
Dash can find your school's advising office and, once you say yes, book an appointment on the school's site. Before you go, ask it to list your courses and deadlines so you walk in with the facts.
Questions students ask
When should I see an academic advisor?
Before registration each term, before dropping or withdrawing from a course, and any time you're thinking of changing your major.
Do I have to see an advisor?
Some schools require it each term or in your first year; others leave it up to you. It's worth going either way.
