Inside MyJudson you will find a ton of resources such as your unofficial transcript, grades, and a degree audit. The degree audit identifies the courses required for graduation based on the major you have selected. It pulls in your transfer courses and tracks the completion and registration of future courses, providing you with a nice tracking system. Take some time to learn your way around MyJudson.

You can now connect with your advisor through your Judson email account. Use only your Judson email account to proceed. Please email your advisor. The subject line should display your name, Id number, and state you are an incoming student for the spring 2013 term. Example: SubjectLine Ginny Guth 123456 Incoming Spring 2013 (If you are an Architecture student please email Cindi Zarris at czarris@judsonu.edu or Keelan Kaiser at kkaiser@judsonu.edu). If you desire to meet on campus over the summer please include that request in this email and coordinate a time that works for both you and the advisor.
In the body of your email you should introduce yourself, tell them something about yourself, and let them know you are interested in registering for the upcoming term. If you are a transfer student, be sure to let them know that. If you have some courses that you feel should be applied to your degree requirements here is where you can attach those course descriptions for review.
If you login and notice your major is incorrect you will need to complete this form to change your major. Signatures are not required. Email this to skunze@judsonu.edu.

Your advisor should respond to you within a week. If you do not have a response from the advisor within a week forward your original email to me and I will assist you in making thisconnections. My email is gguth@judsonu.edu. In your subject line to me state that you are having trouble connecting with your advisor.
Prepare for your advisor meeting. You prepare by reviewing your 4 year plan and degree audit. The 4 year plans are located in the resource section of your MyJudson. How to find resources video. The 4 year plan has been designed to help you stay on track for graduation. If you have transfer work, your 4 year plan will need to be adjusted based on what transferred in. By using your degree audit and the 4 year plan you should be able to identify the courses needed each term.
Your meeting may be held via the phone, in person, or you may continue with communicating via email. This will be up to you and your advisor. When the advisor feels you have a good understanding of the program and you have decided on what courses to take for the upcoming terms they will open your registration screens.
