Student Advisement

Upon completion of the admission process, the Academic Advising and Outreach Center or Student Support Services will assist new students in establishing a schedule that maximizes the opportunities for success. Professional advisors will assist students in understanding specific course and degree requirements, explore interests, explain university services and help establish a plan to reach short-term and long-term goals. Students with disabilities should work directly with the Disability Services Office in order to determine their needs within the guidance of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Music majors need to begin their advisement with the Department of Music.

Each semester a student must receive academic advisement before enrolling in the next semester. An “advisement hold” is placed on student enrollment every semester and this must be removed by a faculty or professional advisor before the student is allowed to enroll. It is highly suggested that students schedule an appointment with their advisor early in the enrollment period in order to give themselves the best chance at securing the courses they need.
