Responsibilities of Advisees

In order to enable advisors to serve them most effectively, students need to assume responsibility for keeping their advisors informed of changes in their programs and for making themselves aware of ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌà policies and procedures that affect their academic status. Specifically, an advisee should, at a minimum, do the following;

  1. Students should maintain a personal academic file. This file should include an updated CAPP sheet, copies of any schedule changes, and copies of any paperwork relative to grades.
  2. Students should read the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.  Students should become familiar with their major (and minor, if applicable) curriculum, the general education program, and all academic regulations. Students should consult the catalog course description for any course they plan to take, and they should make sure that they have all necessary prerequisites for any course they take.
  3. Students should allow adequate time for advising during registration. Students should consult an advisor's schedule of office hours, and they should make an appointment to see their advisors as early as possible during the registration period. They should examine their CAPP evaluation sheet carefully and bring any potential discrepancies in the evaluation sheet to the attention of their advisors. Students should prepare potential schedules before meeting with their advisors, and they should check to make sure that the courses they plan to take will fit into their degree program.
  4. Students should keep advisors informed of changes in their program. If students declare a minor, concentration, or a second major, they should inform their advisor. If students participate in the SJLA, BLDR or Honors programs, they need to consult both their departmental advisor and their program director. If students study abroad, they should consult with their advisor both early in the planning process and during their time abroad. If students request a substitution or waiver in their degree program, they should inform their advisor. If students make changes in their course schedules after their advisors have approved their registration form, they are responsible for informing advisors of the changes they have made.
  5. Students should keep informed of deadlines within the ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌà calendar.  Timelines for drop-add, course refunds, registration, and application for graduation vary from year to year and students should keep themselves informed of these deadlines.
  6. Students who have transfer or AP credits need to make sure they do not take courses at the ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌà that duplicate courses for which they already have credit.  If such courses are not properly entered on a student's CAPP evaluation sheet and/or transcript, the student should consult their academic advising center or Dean's office.
