All students are encouraged to maintain contact with their advisors and to take advanta ge of the opportunities for academic advising which the University provides. The Academic Advisement Center is staffed with professional advisors who are familiar with academic programs and procedures of the University. Questions about courses, programs, schedules, degree requirements, academic appeals, declaration of majors, change of college, and withdrawals can be answered or referred to other University offices. The Academic Advisement and Information Center staff are aware of problems encountered by new students, whether freshmen or transfers. Their experience and advice can help students adjust to the UAH environment.
Advisors can also lend assistance in course selection and curriculum planning.
Students interested in law and medicine can receive guidance on course planning and be referred to pre-professional advisors in academic departments. They can give you accurate and clear information on which to base academic decisions. Advisors may help plan course selections in general education requirements which may apply to several possible majors. Careful course planning allows open options and more time to decide on a career goal. Students are encouraged to learn more about themselves and the world of work through direct assistance, resources, and experiential opportunities.
