I will take a look at their current degree plan if they have one. If the select other I will also search to see if they have any open cases or petitions under review to try and see if I can be prepared for an odd question or unique case

If they have not taken a course yet I am interested in when they were admitted vs when they set up the appointment. I also check Slate to see their admit status (full vs limited).

This allows me to explain how many courses per term the learner will need to take to finish in the timeline they want.

We may discuss what their timeline might look like based on how many courses they take. I typically will go back through the new student checklist, share the optional prep courses, program requirements page, student portal, and then sometimes external sites like financial aid based on questions they ask me during the appointment.

I'll also ask about their prior experience and what kind of course material they find they spend more time with versus less.

This is just so they have a home base.

If they have a degree plan, we will review it together and discuss course pairings and what classes the learner is most comfortable taking with others.

I'll often highlight the link for future terms beyond those on display for those who like to plan around vacations and other special events way ahead. I'll also share some other frequently shared links like the portal/degree planning tool and Student Self-Service.
