Students are assigned a faculty advisor by the Dean's Office upon admission to Pacific.
Advisors work closely with students to develop a sequence of courses that meets individual needs.
Experience shows that successful students are those who have frequent contact with their Faculty Advisors, and students may not register for classes until they have consulted with their advisor. When students declare a major, usually during the sophomore year, they should be working with a Faculty Advisor in their major area. Problems with advising should be taken to the Dean's Office. Students are urged to seek the help of the Admission Office which maintains information on prerequisite courses. Because of the sequential nature of many of the required courses, students who are considering medical school should seek out the advice of Dr. Lisa Sardinia, Biology during their first year.
