All incoming first-year students are assigned a primary academic advisor in the Academic Success Center.  Except for certain departments, this individual will advise the first-year student for both fall and spring registration in their first year (or spring and fall if they begin in the spring semester).  All other students, including those who were advised in the Academic Success Center their first year, will be assigned a faculty advisor from their major department as their primary academic advisor; only those who have not yet selected a major will continue with their primary academic advisor in the Academic Success Center.  Students must have primary academic advisors approve course schedules for preregistration as well as all courses taken off campus, using appropriate forms available in the Office of the Registrar.  A student should contact their primary academic advisor whenever information or an opinion on an academic matter is needed.  Academic Success Center advisors have regular hours and students can contact their advisor directly or the Academic Success Center to make an appointment.  All faculty advisors have hours set aside for students each week during the normal fall and spring academic semesters, so.  Each student’s primary academic advisor is listed in Student Planning.
