We also frequently end an advising session with a referral to a faculty member or School office as appropriate. You should get yourself to the office as soon as you see the course schedules out in the School lobbies. The sooner the better. Transfer students are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor in their first semester at the School. Students are expected to meet with an advisor prior to taking a leave of absence, as well as prior to returning to the School following a leave.
Advisors can also assist a student through an academic or tuition appeal process.
Students having difficulties in School due to extenuating circumstances in their personal life or uncertainty about life goals are strongly encouraged to seek the support of an academic advisor, since many may not be familiar with the wide range of support services and processes at the School. It's good to get a credit check before this meeting, so you are clear about what credits you need. The Faculty Advising Program is run through the combined efforts of the Office of the Dean, the Undergraduate Division Chair, the Registrar, and Academic Advising. If you have questions or concerns about this program, see an academic advisor.
