The University provides academic advising for students through the General Advising Center and through academic departments. Students who do not make a definite choice of major when entering the University are designated general students and are advised at the General Advising Center. Students are assisted in designing a program of studies to meet the general requirements of the University and provided with information about possible major fields. Students accepted as declared majors are advised by faculty advisors who are specialists in their subjects, major requirements, related graduate programs and employment opportunities in their discipline.
All students are strongly encouraged to seek advising assistance early in their university careers.
