All students are strongly encouraged to use advisors to assist with course selection and academic planning.
Many programs require specific course sequencing.
Also, students frequently benefit from guidance in exploring potential majors and coordinating career goals with programs and educational opportunities such as exchange programs. For these reasons advising is highly recommended. Students who have declared majors are assigned advisors through the academic departments. Students who have not declared majors and students in some specialized curricula are advised through the Center for Academic Advising. Times for normal advisement are arranged through these departments.
