 Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I find out who my advisor is? Where can I find my ID number?

You can find your advisor and your ID by going to Warrior-Web and clicking on My ID and Advisor Name.

Am I required to be advised?

Advising is a key element for success, and is required for all undergraduate students prior to registering for classes each term.  An advising hold or block must be removed by your advisor to allow you to register for the semester.  Meeting often with your advisor will lead to your ultimate success.

How do I register for classes?

The Registrar's website has a link with specific instructions.  Go to www.lcsc.edu/registrar and click on WarriorWeb Instructions.

What is my responsibility?

The student advisee is responsible for:

  • knowing who their advisor is and how to contact him/her
  • developing a collaborative relationship with the advisor
  • scheduling advising appointments prior to registration or other deadlines
  • being prepared for the advising appointment (knowing the purpose of the visit, what courses are being offered, having an idea of what courses they need and want to take, being able to discuss interests and goals with the advisors)
  • familiarizing themselves with core requirements, program requirements, and graduation requirements
  • consulting with their advisor before altering their outlined study plan (i.e. dropping or adding a course)
  • consulting with their advisor if they are having academic difficulty
  • consulting with their advisor if changing major, transferring to another institution, or withdrawing from the college
  • meeting with their advisor at least once a semester in order to be released for registration (meeting more often will foster a collaborative relationship)
  • asking questions and seeking help if he/she has issues or concerns
  • becoming knowledgeable and able to make informed decisions
  • accepting responsibility for the decisions she/he makes

When do I need to see my advisor?

Meet with your advisor at least twice during each semester, once early in the semester to get acquainted and evaluate your goals and again prior to pre-registration for the next semester.

Consult with your advisor concerning changes in your approved schedule (i.e., add/drop).

Consult with your advisor if you are having academic difficulties.

Consult with your advisor before changing majors, transferring to another college or withdrawing from college.

How do I set up an appointment with my advisor?

Schedule appointments early in the semester and be prepared (print out a program evaluation from WarriorWeb and have some idea of the courses you need and/or want to take).  Failure to schedule early or failure to prepare for the appointment may delay your registration process

What if my advisor is unavailable or we don't see eye to eye?

If your schedule conflicts with your advisor's, try email or phone.  If that doesn't work, ask your division office to assign you to another advisor by filling out a Program Information Form (PIF). 

If you are having advising issues or concerns, DON'T HESITATE to contact Career & Advising Services, RCH 110, 208-792-2313.
