Academic Advising

By consulting with academic advisers throughout their degree or certificate program, students can ease the admission and registration processes, ensure conformity to program curricula and regulations, select course work to best meet professional goals, and stay on track for timely completion of their academic program. Academic advisers are assigned to each student upon admission to an undergraduate or graduate program. Graduate special (non-degree) students are strongly encouraged to consult with advisers. Advising may be done in person, by phone, or by email. If you are unsure of your academic adviser, call the number listed below:

When to seek advising:

  • Prospective graduate students may speak with advisers prior to submitting applications for degree programs and must do so to set up a program of study prior to acceptance.
  • New students are expected to seek advising prior to registering for their first class.
  • Graduate special (non-degree) students should consult advisers prior to applying and/or registering, especially to receive approval to enroll in upper-division undergraduate or advanced-level graduate courses.
  • Matriculated students who have not registered for a course in more than a year should reassess the remaining curriculum requirements for their academic program prior to registering for additional classes.
  • To plan courses in their major (undergraduate) or concentration, students should schedule appointments with advisers prior to registering for upper-division undergraduate or advanced-level graduate coursework.
  • Undergraduate or graduate students on academic probation or suspension are required to meet with an adviser prior to re-registration.
  • To register for graduate-level courses (.500-level), undergraduates must obtain an adviser's signature.
  • Undergraduates in degree programs must schedule appointments with advisers at the 15-, 45-, 75-, and 105-credit mark in their curriculum and before registering for their senior project.
