A student is entitled to effective academic advising. Reasonable access to faculty and advisors throughout the semester. Adequate staffing to offer advising to all new students at orientation and all early registrations. Transfer evaluation completed within the first semester at UMCP for all students transferring to College Park. At the same time that the student has expectations for the advising process, the advisor also has expectations.
Advisors can only help.
The student recognizes that there are different types of advising and different people to do the different types of advising. The student should ask appropriate questions for the different kinds of advisors. The student understands that no single advisor can answer everything. Students unable to keep appointments should notify the advisor. The student prepares an academic plan and a proposed schedule of classes before coming to see an advisor.
