Upon successful admission to a major, all students receive academic advice from faculty and staff in their academic departments. Students meet with advisors as often as they choose, to explore educational opportunities available within the university and to plan a course of study that is consistent with their abilities, achievements, interests, and expectations.
Advisors also help students build individual strategies for academic success.
Advisors assist in determining an appropriate course load, interpret academic requirements and university procedures and regulations, and consult with students who are considering a change in the major field of study. When appropriate, advisors will refer students to other university offices that provide student services, such as the Counseling Center , Student Health Center , Career Planning and Placement , Financial Aid , Records and Registration , or the Learning Center . The center's professional staff offers a broad spectrum of information and services to students who are not in majors. New students receive assistance with academic adjustment issues. Students with academic difficulty obtain intensive counseling.
