Departmental Advising

Arts and Sciences students must be advised prior to enrolling each semester.  Its is a good idea to contact your advisor in October for Spring advising, and March for Summer and Fall advising.

Please schedule an appointment to go over your course selections for the next registration period.  Although advisors are available to help students plan their program of study, it is the responsibility of the student:
 

  • to know and be aware of degree requirements

  • to know and be aware of academic standing
