All students are assigned an academic advisor. For new students this assignment is based upon indicated field of interest. Once a student chooses a major the academic advisor will be a faculty member in that department. The role of the academic advisor is to aid students in the choice of courses as well as to provide general guidance. The academic advisor should normally be the person of first recourse for a student who is needing help in any area of adjustment to college life.

Prior to each registration, all students must discuss a proposed schedule with an advisor. The purpose of this personal attention is to help students make successful academic progress toward graduation.

A form for requesting a change of major or advisor is available in the Office of Special Programs.
