Advising is a two-way relationship. Both the advisor and the student have responsibilities with respect to a successful advising relationship. Each advisor is responsible for a broad understanding of the structure and content of the total MHA curriculum including course requirements, course sequencing, potential substitutions or waivers, and potential areas of concentration.
Students are responsible for communicating their interests and concerns to their advisor.
The MHA Program Director and Curriculum Coordinator have joint responsibility for ensuring that the advising process is successful for both students and faculty. The Student Services Coordinator assists students and advisors in managing the University of Washington procedures and processes. Each incoming student is assigned an advisor. If the relationship is satisfactory to both, it continues through both academic years. Faculty will be available for appointments with students.
