  • TCC 2020 transfer 2021 and lost all credits

  • First advisor was completely useless ended up having to contacting someone else

  • New advisor he was assigned to is fine

    • Responds to emails

    • Just gives them his NetID and they send him an annotated flow chart with classes crossed out already

    • When he first transferred to UTD, he had to reach out to an advisor that wasn’t assigned to him and they sent him something similar

    • Computer generated, excel file with stuff he needed to do, just ticking up things himself

  • If can be lazy will be very lazy

  • Sometimes will email advisors for their documentation

  • Went over the Excel sheet they sent him with his partner very carefully, highlighting courses he’s taken and still needs to take

  • Thinks it very important for students to have something that GUIDES them

  • Would be nice to have… describes an interactive flowchart idea

  • As international student he likes the credit tag warning

  • Biggest issue had was going through all the classes and all the prereqs and had to track
