Academic Advising Quick Tips

Quick Tips for Academic Success | Helping to make sure your time at Tyndale is successful and rewarding

Keep a Copy of Your Program Requirements

The major sheet lists all the academic requirements you must complete in order to graduate. It is important that you keep a copy of your program requirements from your first year of studies. Even though changes to your program may occur from year to year, when you apply to graduate, your courses are audited against the curriculum that was outlined in the year you entered your program. Transfer students would have received personalized program requirements when they received the results of their transfer credit evaluation.

Check Your MyTyndale Email Account

It is your responsibility to monitor your mytyndale email account to ensure you have updated information. All campus-wide announcements and faculty and staff communication will be sent to this email. It is very important you check this email account daily.

Check Your Course Pages

Each class you register for has its own course page on Moodle. Each course page houses the course syllabus, class announcements, handouts, your attendance record, and links to important resources. It is very important you check your course pages often.

Monitor Your Attendance

Students are required to enter unique attendance passwords (provided by our professors in each class) on the course Moodle page.

Create an Academic Plan

Students are more successful when they plan ahead. Keep track of all course readings and requirements, deadlines, personal commitments, and appointments. Take time at the beginning of each semester to create this plan and revisit it often. Advising Services is available for assistance if you would need help.

Use resources like the Learning Services to help make sure you succeed.

Course Registration Help

The Office of the Registrar is your key resource for information related to course enrollment, academic dates, final exams, official documents, and school policies. Visit their website often and look through their tip sheets for step-by-step instructions on how to access information. They also send campus-wide announcements with important information, which are sent to your mytyndale email address. Be sure to read all communication that comes from them.
