Required Advising Meetings

Each semester, students are required to meet with their SJV PRIME+ Staff Advisor to discuss program requirements and opportunities for support (see Procedural Expectations for all required meetings with Advisors and related deadlines). 

First year students are required to attend at least one meeting per semester with the Bobcat Advising Center (BAC). Second year students and above are required to attend at least one meeting per semester with their assigned Major Academic Advisor. During these meetings, students will discuss course registration, graduation planning, and completion of Med Ed Core courses

Additionally, all students are encouraged to meet with their SJV PRIME+ Staff Advisor to discuss any personal or academic challenges. They can refer students to appropriate resources aimed at supporting their personal and academic success. 

Additional Meetings: Case-by-Case 

If students would like to meet with the SJV PRIME+ Staff Advisor or Academic Advisors beyond the required meetings, they are encouraged to schedule additional meetings. SJV PRIME+ Staff Advisors and Academic Advisors may also request additional meetings with students if needed on a case-by-case basis.
