College of Fine Arts School of Dance Undergraduate Handbook

Advisor(s)

Individual advisors are important to students during their years in the School of Dance. Freshman students are advised through University College.  After the freshman year, a School of Dance faculty/advisor will help plan a course of study to fulfill the requirements for graduation. It is each student’s responsibility to communicate with his/her advisor and to keep informed about School of Dance and college requirements as well as class performance requirements.

Faculty will post their office hours on their office doors so that students may arrange mutually convenient times for meetings.  Feel free to make appointments with advisors and teachers to discuss work in any area.  If students find that they are not functioning at their best because of unanswered questions or negative feelings, communications with the concerned faculty, advisor, mentor etc. can be effective in resolving difficulties. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves to deal with questions/problems in an energetic, creative and proactive way.
