Once students officially declare a major, they are assigned to an academic advisor in the department of their major. All students are assigned an academic advisor upon completion of the admission process, which is administered through the Office of Admissions.
Students are encouraged to work closely with their assigned advisor in order to clarify educational objectives, establish a sequence of courses which will include necessary prerequisites to enter more advanced courses, and to project a plan of study determining which courses satisfy degree requirements.The final responsibility for meeting all program/degree requirements and being informed of College regulations and procedures rests with the student.
