Introduce yourself, find out student’s interests, goals, background. Set expectations re future meetings with you.2. Look up advisee’s transcript: Login to myfau, select FAU self-service/faculty services/student ID/enter name or Z number/select transcript. 3. Not all AP/IB/College credits may appear. Ask advisee if they have other credit. Make sure they have AP scores/transcripts sent to FAU registrar. (SOAR advisors: consult student’s course checklist if provided)4. Use the new Core/Graduation checklist () to check off what advisees have fulfilled and circle what they still need. Document the courses the student will take this term, the requirements they need to fulfill in the future, etc. (e.g. in an email that you send to the advisee and to yourself for archiving). 5. Select courses using latest pdf of course offerings: . Make sure the chosen courses don’t conflict. You might have students register during your appointment, as Banner will then indicate conflicts. 6. Advising differs for transfer students, FTICs who are premed/science, and FTICs who are not: see appropriate section below.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PREMED/SCIENCE STUDENTS: Premeds need to stay on track. Typical Freshmen Fall schedule for Premeds: FORUM (IDH 1022)CHM 2045/L (Gen Chem I/Lab) (4 credits)MAC 2311 (Calc; If student has not completed Pre-Calculus, they should sign up for CRN 16022 or 16697; If student has completed Pre-Calc, they should sign up for CRN 15786 or 15787) or MAC 2312 (Calc II) (4 credits)BSC 1010/L (Biological Principles/Lab) (4 credits)CORE NON-SCIENCE COURSE or FOREIGN LANGUAGE (3-4 credits)Note: students with credit for CHM 2045 and/or BSC 1010 can wait til Spring for CHM 2046/BSC 1011 and take more CORE NON-SCIENCE COURSES. ENC 1101 will be offered in Spring.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NON-SCIENCE STUDENTS: Typical Freshmen Fall schedule:FORUM (IDH 1022)BSC 1005/L Honors Life Science/Lab; in spring we plan to teach CHM 1020C Contemporary Chemical IssuesSTA 2023 (Stats) (3 credits). Note: In spring we plan to offer 2 sections of Stats and possibly Math for Liberal Arts. CORE SBA /HUMANITIES/GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP course(s) (3-9 credits)FOREIGN LANGUAGE (4 credits)Note: students entering with enough credit to give them sophomore standing can consider taking a concentration course. ENC 1101 will be offered in Spring.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TRANSFER STUDENTS with an A.A. degree from Florida automatically satisfy HC CORE. For transfers without an AA, we need to review their courses for HC Core equivalency. All transfers need “other graduation requirements” and concentration courses. For their first semester transfers typically take:FORUM (IDH 1022)FOREIGN LANGUAGECONCENTRATION COURSES. Note: some may not have adequate prep for upper level Bio/Chem classes. They may need Organic (or its prereq, Gen Chem I/II), or other prereqs. Call a Science faculty if you aren’t sure how to advise one of these students.DISTRIBUTION ELECTIVE(S) in Humanities or SBA (students need 1 in each, taken at HC)TEAM-TAUGHT COURSE (if space opens up; usually these fill before transfers can register for Fall courses)OTHER IMPORTANT POLICIES:1) Students must take a MINIMUM of 12 credits/semester of HC courses to be full-time and remain eligible for their HC scholarship.2) Students may take non-honors courses with advisor approval but may NOT take a non-honors version of an HC course without compelling justification and approval from their advisor and the Associate Dean of Academic Programs. A compelling justification would be if 2 HC courses must be taken this semester to graduate on time and they conflict with one another.3) If a class is full, students can contact the instructor, who has the option of overriding the cap to permit the studentA list of Humanities and Social Science Distribution classes with space available and no prerequisite are listed on the F19 course notes page, at ................
