What is Action Plan Advising?
This four-part advising series involves 30 minute, 1on1 appointments with the International Student Retention Facilitator (ISRF) to discover and discuss your goals for your time here at 成人大片 and your hopes for the future beyond your studies. By the end of the series, you will have co-created an Action Plan that leads you from where you are now to where you want to be, with consideration for potential challenges and information on available resources to help navigate them. This living document is meant to be modified as you progress through your 成人大片 journey, which is why the ISRF recommends you check-in at least once per semester after completing the series.
