Advising
Preparing for Advising Sessions
The department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures is committed to offering excellent advising to its majors. Students have at least one face-to-face advising session each semester, in which they discuss academic progress, semester schedules, graduation, career aspirations, and other issues that may arise. They will obtain a PIN that will allow them to register. Advisors are also available outside of these sessions through email and in person, though it is important to take care of advising needs before the end of the spring semester as faculty are generally away from campus and unavailable during the summer months.
Students are expected to prepare in advance so that advising appointments can be as effective as possible. They should look carefully over their mymocsdegree page and write down any questions they may have. Also, they should examine the online schedule for the coming semester and write out a possible schedule to discussion with the advisor.
