Advising Goals
Communicate to the student the options available to the
student, the requirements that must be met and a time frame
within which to complete them.
Advising Policy
During the summer orientations, the perspective major meets
with the department head who provides the student with an
overview of the department and its programs. At this point
the student receives an advisor. A student receives their
PDF from their advisor. The amount of advising a student
receives will vary with the academic security and confidence
of the student.
Recent Changes and Future Plans
- To Improve Quality of Advising
- The department introduced a rotation system in our advising
assignments in AY 95-96. That year five (or more) faculty
were assigned advisee's in each of the freshman through
senior level majors. The new majors arriving in the freshman
orientation were assigned advisors in the summer of 1996.
Every faculty is involved in the rotation. This maintains
the quality we have in our advising scheme and attempts to
keep the advisee to faculty ratio as small as possible.
- To Improve Accessibility of Advisors
- Advisors are highly accessible and alternative advisors are
readily available should the need for them arise.
