If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to choose classes, who to ask for help, or how to stay on track to graduate, this guide is for you.

Why Seeing a College Counselor Is Crucial

Advice from Professor G: Visit Counselors Often
According to Professor G, one of the smartest moves a student can make is seeing a college counselor regularly—and seeing different counselors for different kinds of advice. Every counselor has unique insights, and some may specialize in academics, while others might focus on career guidance, financial aid, or transfer planning.

These professionals are here to help, but timing matters. Which brings us to one of the most important takeaways.

Timing Is Everything: Don’t Wait for Peak Weeks

Book Appointments Early—Avoid Registration Chaos
Counselors get especially busy during high-traffic periods like November, December, and January, which often coincide with registration deadlines. Waiting until these peak times can make it hard to secure a meeting when you need it most.

Instead, schedule appointments during off-peak times. This ensures you’ll have more one-on-one time with your counselor, giving you space to ask detailed questions and create a customized academic plan.

Make a Plan and Double-Check It

Educational Plans and Second Opinions Matter
A great counselor can help you do more than just pick classes—they can help you map out your entire educational plan. That means knowing not just what to take next semester, but also how each course fits into your long-term goals.

If you ever feel uncertain about the advice you received, it’s perfectly okay (and even encouraged) to get a second opinion. Different perspectives can help you feel more confident about your choices.
