Brooks College Advising Center
How did those midterms go?
The deadline to drop a 15 week class with a W is November 13 at 5:00 pm. If you are not sure about whether you should drop a class, meet with an advisor to talk through the pros and cons!
Other great reasons to meet with an advisor:
- Find out about internships available through Semester in Detroit and Summer in West Michigan
- Change up the classes in your winter semester schedule
- Consider adding a minor, certificate, or badge to strengthen your job market credentials
- Explore study abroad opportunities
