College counseling services are located in the Student Affairs Office. A staff of academic counselors is readily available to assist with questions pertaining to academic regulations and procedures, selection of courses which satisfy breadth requirements, major options, and alternatives.
Major advisors are also available within each department or program.
All departments assign an academic counselor to each major and require an advisor's approval before enrolling, submitting an academic petition, or making a change in the class schedule. Entering students who have not yet selected a major field of study should contact the Student Affairs Office. Students needing to confer with a counselor about overall degree requirements, academic difficulty, program planning, or assistance in selecting a major can arrange for an appointment by calling this office. Presentation of a class schedule and its acceptance is evidence of an obligation on the part of students to perform faithfully the designated work to the best of their ability. A three-course load is recommended for students in the first quarter of the freshman year.
