SPEAKER: Hey there,
Panthers, it's winter.

00:00:02.332 --> 00:00:04.290 align:middle line:84%
Do you have an upcoming
counseling appointment?

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:06.300 align:middle line:84%
Here are five tips on
how to get the most out

00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:08.155 align:middle line:90%
of your counseling appointment.

00:00:08.155 --> 00:00:11.010 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.010 --> 00:00:13.200 align:middle line:84%
Number one, give
counseling a heads up

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.079 align:middle line:84%
about what you need
before your appointment.

00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.150 align:middle line:84%
Do you have transcripts
from another college?

00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:19.290 align:middle line:90%
Need an ed plan?

00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:20.910 align:middle line:90%
Need help deciding on a major?

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.300 align:middle line:84%
These are all important
things to mention beforehand.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:27.270 align:middle line:84%
Number two, come
prepared with questions.

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:29.040 align:middle line:84%
Think of it like
going to the doctor.

00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:31.290 align:middle line:84%
Write down your concerns so
that you don't forget them

00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:32.820 align:middle line:90%
during the meeting.

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:36.910 align:middle line:84%
And make sure you prioritize
your most important concerns.

00:00:36.910 --> 00:00:39.780 align:middle line:84%
Remember, your appointment
is just 45 minutes.

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:42.480 align:middle line:84%
Here are some questions
that you can include.

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:44.040 align:middle line:90%
When will I transfer?

00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:45.660 align:middle line:90%
How do I plan for graduation?

00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:47.400 align:middle line:90%
When will I graduate?

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.980 align:middle line:84%
Number three, identify
resources that you will

00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:52.260 align:middle line:90%
need to succeed as a student.

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:55.050 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes, being a good student
goes beyond financial aid,

00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:56.820 align:middle line:90%
awesome teachers, and tutoring.

00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:00.530 align:middle line:84%
Some students need help with
things like housing, food,

00:01:00.530 --> 00:01:03.900 align:middle line:90%
childcare, gas money, et cetera.

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:05.910 align:middle line:84%
Your counselor can point
you to the right people

00:01:05.910 --> 00:01:07.920 align:middle line:90%
who can help you out.

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.170 align:middle line:84%
So think about the challenges
you're facing right now,

00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:12.030 align:middle line:84%
write them down, and
have that list ready

00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:13.650 align:middle line:90%
for your appointment.

00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:17.580 align:middle line:84%
Number four, dedicate time
to focus on your appointment.

00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:19.600 align:middle line:84%
I know it sounds
like a no-brainer,

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:22.110 align:middle line:84%
but it can be hard to focus
on tasks that are online.

00:01:22.110 --> 00:01:24.300 align:middle line:84%
All of you guys who have
been taking online courses

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:26.168 align:middle line:90%
know what I'm talking about.

00:01:26.168 --> 00:01:28.710 align:middle line:84%
But you should still treat your
online counseling appointment

00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:30.870 align:middle line:90%
as if you were in person.

00:01:30.870 --> 00:01:34.290 align:middle line:84%
Find a private place where you
can focus on the counselor--

00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:38.080 align:middle line:84%
try not to divide your attention
between that and other tasks.

00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:41.370 align:middle line:84%
And finally, number five,
make sure your technology

00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:42.930 align:middle line:90%
is good to go.

00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:46.320 align:middle line:84%
When you make your appointment,
you'll receive a ConexED email

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:47.610 align:middle line:90%
with instructions.

00:01:47.610 --> 00:01:49.930 align:middle line:84%
Read through those so
you'll know what you need,

00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:53.760 align:middle line:84%
such as right web browser and
webcam for video appointments.

00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:54.730 align:middle line:90%
Have any questions?

00:01:54.730 --> 00:01:57.120 align:middle line:84%
Go to chaffey.edu to
have them answered

00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.310 align:middle line:84%
and for any other
information you might need.

00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:00.860 align:middle line:90%
Bye-bye.

00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:04.000 align:middle line:90%
