Before enrolling for a term, you should ...

• A. Ask a Professor About Current Term Courses
• B. Submit Housing Request
• C. Attend a Campus Tour
• D. Consult an Academic Advisor to Review Degree Requirements and Plan Courses

Answer: (D)

Planning your term by aligning courses with your degree requirements and graduation timeline is the key step before enrolling. Consulting an academic advisor to review degree requirements and plan courses is the best next move because the advisor can map out the exact classes you need for your program, confirm which courses satisfy core, major, and elective requirements, and design a term-by-term plan that respects prerequisites and sequencing. They can also review any dual enrollment or transfer credits, help you set a realistic workload, and ensure you stay on track to graduate on time. This targeted planning prevents taking courses that don’t advance your degree and helps you anticipate future terms so you meet all deadlines. Campus tours can give a feel for the campus, and asking professors about current term courses can provide course-specific details, but neither directly ensures your chosen classes fit your degree plan. Submitting a housing request doesn't address academic progression.
