How to Prepare for Your Counseling Appointment:

• Advising Guide/College Catalog/Assit.org - Using these you can pull up the  General Education, Major, and External Major associated with your major and fill in the blocks. Read all notes and ensure any previous classes from other schools are applied as well. The VA only pays for classes REQUIRED for each category.
