The Advising Process
Each incoming student is assigned an academic advisor within the Dietrich School’s Academic Advising Center. Students are required to meet with their advisor at least once per term before they can enroll in classes for the next term. Students are encouraged to schedule additional appointments as necessary. Students will remain with their assigned advisor until they declare a major; once a major is declared, the student will transition to a new advisor within their major department.
What kinds of things should you meet with, or email, your advisor about?
There are many reasons to see an advisor, including: getting your academic hold lifted so you can register for classes, discussing your progress toward graduation, outlining a plan of study for your undergraduate career, considering a minor or certificate program, interning, studying abroad, doing research, applying for artist residencies, academic problems or concerns, considering graduate school, applying for jobs, reviewing your resume or portfolio, and more.
