Both advisers and advisees share responsibilities for the advising relationship to succeed. Advisers are to encourage advisees to become engaged in their education, to meet their educational goals, and to develop the habit of learning. Advisees will routinely contact their advisers each semester and will assume final responsibility for course scheduling, program planning, and the successful completion of graduation requirements. Monitoring of advisees' progress and informing them of their status are to be accomplished by procedures established by the enrollment college and department. Advisers are to develop their own individual procedures to fulfill their responsibilities in implementing the academic unit's advising program.
Advisees are to consult with their adviser at least once a semester.
They are to develop their own individual procedures to fulfill their responsibilities within the academic unit's advising system. The University may make changes in policies, procedures, educational offerings, and requirements at any time. Please consult a Penn State academic adviser for more detailed information.
