Case Study
• Here is a transcript of a real student
• He was misadvised by 4 counselors and now, will not earn his
Psychology AA-T 
– History:
• 10/2012: Was told he only needed Psyc 7 and 10 to earn his degree
• 1/2013: Was told to apply because he was finished
• 1/2013: Was told that he still needed Psyc 3 – he was able to add it at the last
minute
• 2/2013: Was told to apply because he was finished
• 2/2013: Came in to fill out AA-T application and was found to be missing one
course!
• What can we do to avoid this in the future?
