Being informed and planning ahead is the best way to maximize your academic experience at UNO. Of course, at some point in your educational journey, life may happen, and you might find barriers or obstacles preventing the progress you had planned. It is easy to get discouraged under those circumstances, and many students struggle without addressing the problem, or they quit. Often students will leave campus without talking to anyone about the barriers they are facing, but that is exactly where your academic advisor can help! As discussed earlier, your academic advisor has a wealth of knowledge, not only about your degree plan, but also about campus resources. They can share campus resources that might help reduce or eliminate barriers standing in your way of success. Stay focused on your educational goals and meet with your academic advisor regularly to set yourself up for success.
