Editorial: The Importance of Advising

Auburn University of Montgomery students, it is time for you all to sign up for the Spring and Fall Semesters. You can check with your advisors or got to AUM website https://advisortrac.aum.edu/TracWeb40/Default.html to schedule an advising appointment. All students are strongly encouraged to have all advisory documents copied. Once they are copied, I encourage you to keep all documents together. Be sure to keep track of your classes yourself. Make sure that you ask your advisors what classes are offered only once a school year or certain semesters. Ask advisors what organizations are a part of your major to keep involved on campus. Make sure you always ask about scholarships. Some organizations and colleges at AUM offer many scholarships to help students be able to afford college. Being on top of your advising appointment is very important, especially when it comes time to graduate. To be able to graduate you need to make sure you go through all of your things at least three times at a minimum. It is your job to stay on top of things if you really want to graduate on time. Most importantly take your classes at a pace that will benefit you. Set your own schedule to work best for you if you can.
