What To Expect From an Advising Appointment
There are many things you can expect when meeting with an Academic Advisor. They provide information regarding academic planning, assisting with curriculum interpretation, and answering transfer questions such as MACRAO and Integrative Studies Requirements at Michigan State University. Our Academic Advisors will also be able to discuss the components of the Selective Admissions process with students.

Educational Development Plan (EDP)
An Educational Development Plan -EDP, for short- is an individualized semester-by-semester class plan for reaching the student's intended educational goal. With this plan, the student can map out a path to a certificate, degree, or career goal and set a timeline for attaining it. It is a plan that will be influenced by classes offered each semester and the student's individual circumstances, so the student and program advisor should re-evaluate it regularly.

How To Plan For Your Appointment
Please arrive at your academic advising appointment prepared. Spend some time thinking about what you want out of your appointment. Have a copy of your curriculum with you and any preparation work you may have done. If you have credits from another college, bringing a copy of your transcript will make your appointment more effective.
In general, any information pertinent to your academic goals would help in making your advising experience a positive one.
