Introduction and Outreach for Advisement Month

Subject: Required Advisement Meeting with your Faculty Academic Advisor

Dear [Student Name]:

Let me take this opportunity to introduce myself! I am your designated faculty academic advisor assigned to you, and I am happy to provide you with guidance as you make progress in this major. 

At Ramapo, October and March are traditionally designated as Academic Advisement Months. Please email me to schedule a meeting to discuss your academic progress and to plan course selection for next semester.

PRIOR to meeting me for advisement, you should do the following: 

1. Create a U.Achieve plan, which will help you map out the courses you plan to take next semester. 
2. Carefully review the How-to guides and training videos on our MyAdvisor website, which will show you how to search for classes and how to register using our Web Self-Service system. It will also show you how to run a degree audit using our intuitive U.Achieve system to determine what courses you will need to successfully complete to graduate.  

I will lift your advisement hold after you attend our meeting.

Also, feel free to take a moment to stop by my office to introduce yourself. My office is located in room [number] and I am available during my office hours at [insert days/times]. I look forward to helping you find success in your undergraduate career. 

Best, 

[Faculty academic advisor name]
