A good rule of thumb is to see your advisor twice a semester. Keep in mind that, despite all good intentions, a requirement is sometimes overlooked. In such situations, ask your advisor about filing a petition. Be forewarned that the petition may not be granted. Ultimately, you are responsible for meeting the requirements of your degree program .
Faculty expect students to be professional.
Professionalism means attending class regularly, handing in assignments on time, and keeping appointments. If you cannot keep an appointment, call in advance to cancel. Professionalism in the classroom influences faculty recommendations for internships and jobs. Honesty is an integral part of professionalism. It is considered plagiarism to represent the work of others as your own.
