Student Advisement
Get Guidance
Plan your educational and career path.
Academic advisors provide expert advice to students on courses and degree plans. We
have an excellent reputation for advisement and mentoring by faculty.
First and second-year students are advised by faculty who focus on aiding them in
the transition to college. These two years allow students to get to know other faculty
members within the department and then choose who will advise them during their junior
and senior years.
Appointments and Enrollment
Students are required to meet with their advisors each semester before enrolling in classes. Only a student's assigned advisor can clear him/her for enrollment.
