Which resource would a student contact to discuss degree requirements and semester-by-semester planning?

• A. Academic Advisement
• B. Counseling
• C. Tutoring
• D. Disability Services

Answer: (A)

Guiding a student through degree requirements and a semester-by-semester plan is the role of academic advisement. An advisor reviews the degree audit, confirms which courses count toward the major and general education, and sequences them so graduation is on track. They factor in prerequisites, program rules, and graduation timelines, then lay out a term-by-term plan that balances required courses, electives, and workload. They also assist with registration timing and adjust plans if a class isn’t available. Counseling handles personal or mental-health concerns (and related career guidance), tutoring provides help with specific courses, and disability services arranges accommodations. For understanding degree requirements and mapping out a semester-by-semester path, academic advisement is the best fit.
