Academic Policies
Academic Advisers
A faculty member will be your academic adviser if you have selected a major. Undeclared students will be advised by a professional adviser within the Undergraduate Studies Office. You and your adviser will discuss the various programs and opportunities available within your interests and objectives and will approve the final selection of your courses each semester. First-Year students are assigned an adviser for the year based on their tentative choice of major. A student may select, or the department chair can assign, an adviser at the time of official declaration of major early in the sophomore year.
You are encouraged to make appointments with your academic adviser to talk about your academic concerns. Office hours for advisers are typically posted outside faculty offices.
