WHAT EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ACADEMIC ADVISING
As a student, you have the responsibility of choosing your own program of studies. Your adviser can inform you of available academic alternatives. While your adviser will be willing to suggest specific study programs, he or she will not insist that you follow a particular course of study. By the end of the first semester, you and your adviser should agree upon a tentative four-year academic plan.
A successful advising program is based on a cooperative and understanding relationship between student and adviser. Consult your adviser regularly. Drop in and tell your adviser how the term is going. If you wish to add or drop a course, you should meet with your adviser to get their signature on the appropriate forms. Our advisers post office hours during which they are available for conversation. If you cannot find your adviser in his or her office, leave a note in their mailbox (or send them an email), indicating your wish to make an appointment. In that note, indicate several times when you could meet with your adviser and also indicate the means by which you can be contacted. Above all, do not hesitate to call your adviser on campus, to ask questions, or to arrange for an appointment. Most faculty members are also accessible through e-mail.
Poly degree requirements audits (graduation checklists) are prepared for students and updated every semester by our advisers during your registration advising appointment. The guide is intended to provide an overview of your academic progress and to answer the most commonly asked questions about your degree requirements.
