Grad School Powerpoint Slides Up

Advising Flowcharts

These may be the most useful tools for planning out your undergraduate degree. And just some advice:
- take your stats in 2nd year! If you don't, you will take longer to complete your degree (i.e., > 4 years)
- work backwards from what you know you need to take your last year, especially if you are considering the honours degree
- take classes that allow you flexibility in choosing courses down the road (i.e., choose a variety of 2nd year courses, or choose courses that are prerequisites for multiple 3rd year classes)
- download the undergraduate advising handbook. Read it, know it, love it.
