semester?

How often do I have
to meet with an adviser?

hold is removed they can register immediately.

courses. The Academic Adviser assists with course selection,
degree requirements, graduation requirements, petitions, etc.

What is Advisement?
Advisement is the process of meeting with an adviser and selecting
courses for the upcoming semester, semesters or graduation.
All students should bring a current RAP sheet, current class schedule and tentative
schedule with them to meet with the adviser.
What is an advisement code?
An advisement code is a four digit alpha-numeric number used
to register for classes online.
What is a faculty adviser?
An faculty adviser is any full-time, tenure track faculty member under a student's major. Faculty advisers are a great resource for selecting a major, choosing a career, preparing for graduate school, learning about licensure, and other non-technical degree topics.
When should I be advised?
Students should be advised before their Priority
Registration Date. Students can be advised throughout the
year as often as they choose. Students can meet with the COB
Academic Adviser throughout the calendar year. Faculty members
are available by appointment throughout the year.
What do I do after I am advised?
Once a student is advised, they should take care
of any holds and register on or after their appointed
registration date.
What if I don't follow my
adviser's recommendations?
Students should be extremely careful when choosing
to deviate from an adviser's recommendations. Simple changes
such as changing from an 11:00 class to a 9:00 class do not
require additional advisement. However, decisions to drop
one course to add a different course could post-pone graduation.
When in doubt, always ask an adviser.
