Your advisor knows your academic requirements and is committed to helping you move towards your career goals and keep you on track towards graduation.
You will be assigned an advisor who will likely be your primary contact person for academic information and advice. You should get to know your advisor before you need help.
Continuing students should meet with an advisor during the advising seasons in March and October. During this time, advisors are available to meet with students. After the two-week advising season, advisors are available on a limited basis, by appointment only, until the last day of classes of the semester. Different departments may have different procedures for scheduling appointments鈥攎ake sure to check in with your advisor or your department in advance.
Advising during the intersession period is only available for transfer and re-entry students. It is done in the major department or dean's office. If advisors are not available in the major department or dean's office, transfer and re-entry students with 45 hours or less may come to the Academic Success Center for assistance.
Make sure you get the most out of your advising appointment by preparing to meet your advisor!
