Academic Advising
Academic Advising
Academic advising provides you with the opportunity to build a relationship with your advisor in order to plan your educational career, foster the skills needed for academic success, and learn how to access the variety of resources and services available to you on campus.
Academic advising is a collaborative educational process in which you partner with your advisor to meet essential learning outcomes, ensure academic success and achieve personal, academic and career goals. This partnership requires the participation and involvement of both you and your advisor, as it is built over your entire educational experience at the University. Both you and your advisor have clear responsibilities for ensuring the advising partnership is successful.

Who is My Advisor?
Declared majors: Upon entering the University, all students are assigned to at least one advisor. If you have declared a major, you will be advised by a full-time faculty member from the major of your choosing. New students who indicate a preference for a specific major are assigned an advisor in their major who is trained to respond to the needs of first-year students.
Undeclared majors: Exploratory students are those who wish to explore various courses of study before deciding on a major. If you are an exploratory student, you will be assigned to the first-year academic advisor, who is trained to help you consider your options in order to choose a program of study that best fits your interests, skill set and goals. Once you declare your major, you will be reassigned to a faculty advisor from your major. Learn more about being an exploratory student.
You must declare your major by the time you complete 60 credits at 365bet滚球投注. You may also change your major, add a second major and/or add or change a minor. You will need to meet with a faculty member from your new academic program before declaring a major or minor.
How do I find out who my advisor is?
Once you have declared a major, you will be assigned to an advisor by the chair of your academic department and the registrar, and will receive an email notification from the Office of the Registrar. Depending on your academic plan, you may have more than one advisor.
