Academic Advising System

The Graduate Program Director of each program of study will assign an appropriate advisor to the student. The advisor will:

• direct the student in the formulation of the program,
• approve course selections and course changes,
• give guidance relative to examinations for the program, and
• ascertain that the candidate is meeting the requirements for the degree.

The assignment of an advisor does not relieve the student of the primary responsibility for adequate program planning and for progress toward completion. All degree-seeking students should work closely with their advisors to prepare a plan of study or Degree Plan.
