Meet with your Advisor every semester.  Do so before registration.  Schedule an appointment to sit down with them in their office.  Don’t beg for their signature in the hallway.  Be prepared for this meeting by knowing what you still need to take, and by having ideas of what specific classes you would like to take during the next semester.

Know your requirements. 

• Students need a major and a minor, unless they are pursuing a BFA degree, in which case the minor requirement is waived. 
• You need a total of 120 hours. 
• You need to complete all your general education requirements. 
• You need to have 45 hours of upper division (300 or 400 level classes) credit.
• You must have the minimum GPA required for your degree. 
• If you transferred, you must complete your last 30 hours, and at least 25% of your hours, in residence at NKU.
