Advising
Many advising offices on campus use Raider Success Hub (success.ttu.edu) to schedule appointments.
How to Prepare for Advising?
- Know what classes you could take – make a list from Degree Works
- Have an idea of possible schedules – use Visual Schedule Builder
to look at options
- Bring questions with you –
- Finding internships
- Declaring a major or minor
- Next steps – next big focus
Raiderlink – what's on it I should know?
