Advising

1. Your advisor has a digital version of your program plan. It will have your classes recorded on it by the registrar. That is your official transcript of your progress towards graduation.

2. Re-familiarize yourself with this advising website. Pay special attention to the recommendations for portfolio focuses. 

3. If you are entering your junior year, you should think about what kind of portfolio you will be building. The portfolio course arrays for program electives determine the type of portfolio you will build during your junior year.

2. Consider how many credits are you taking? To graduate in 4 years, you will need to take 15 credits per semesters or 12 per semester for Fall and Spring and 6 credits during the Summer.

3. Schedule an advising session with a full time faculty member or attend an advising session. There, you will receive advise regarding your eventual Program Elective selections and which courses to enroll in next. 

4. Register on MYFSU (ferris.edu > myFSU) If you do not know how to log into MYFSU, a faculty member or Carol Sloan can show you how.
