How often do I meet my Progression Advisor?
In addition to the monthly Kings Workshops, you are expected to meet with your KPA at least once per month, every month you are at your host institution, regardless of your academic status or transfer progress. Even if you do not plan to transfer, you still need to check in with your KPA monthly.
Our most successful students meet with their KPAs more frequently, especially while they are preparing applications.
It is common for a student applying to schools to meet with their KPA weekly. There is no limit to the number of meetings you can have with your KPA, but our schedules do get very busy during application season, so it is always better to make an appointment before coming in!
List of Sample Workshops
- Intro to Pathways and the US Higher Education System
- Profile Building
- Choosing a College
- Writing the Perfect Essay (Personal Statement)
- Constructing a resume
- Transfer Application/Common Application/Supplemental Essays
- Standard Exams (TOEFL, SAT)
- The Final Steps (Final Application Documents)
