Student Dossier
The student dossier is a powerful tool, both for you and for your faculty adviser. The dossier will prompt you to:
- Tell us your current thoughts about your academic interests and plans.
- Enter information about AP or IB exams (if you took them).
- Keep track of relevant Northwestern placement exams.
Based on the information you provide about your scores, the dossier will suggest classes that would make logical starting points for continued study in those areas. You will be asked to choose a preliminary fall schedule, which you and your first-year adviser will discuss.
You may begin compiling your dossier on May 15 and must complete it by July 31 so that your advisers may use it to guide you in the weeks before you arrive on campus and in the months that follow. You will be asked to revisit your dossier periodically during your time in Weinberg to assess the ways your plans have changed or solidified and to set goals for your remaining time at Northwestern and beyond.
