    This might be rudimentary for some folks, but anyone like me: meet with counselors regularly to make sure you’re on-track for graduation!

    I was my own counselor. I used the course catalogs to determine what courses I needed to take to graduate. I thought I was doing well til I found (during what I assumed was my last semester) that I needed additional math credits and anothet credit in some other weird category to graduate. I took summer courses of Pre-Calc and Bowling to graduate a semester later than expected.

      Right, also be mindful with changing majors as it can mean there’s new requirements. Had to go take another foreign language two years after taking my original major’s amount. Was not the most fun trying to pick it back up

        I switched majors and had to take a whole extra year because of when final level classes were offered.
