<p>Awesome information! The vast majority of incoming students at orientation (who of course have never HEARD of CC!) go expecting their advisor to tell them what to take, and are the ones who are so frustrated that their advisor didn’t “help” them. </p>
<p>There are always people who show up at orientation who have not taken the math test, who don’t have a logon ID yet, and of course have never even heard of Testudo. The advisors who meet with students who have done what momofapplicant has suggested are always thrilled to deal with a student who realizes that they are in charge of their own success and comes to orientation prepared. At least in the case of my 2 D’s, the advisors vividly remember them from orientation and are willing to help any way they can, over the next 4 years. D2’s Environmental Policy major is a different kind of program and required that she switched advisors (to a different college) after her first 2 years. She had a registration “mini-crisis” after this occurred, and she turned to her original advisor (in her original college) who went out of her way to help get things straightened out for her.</p>
