ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Academic advising is important for appropriate progress through the program of study. Your advisor is responsible for, and not limited to, informing you about the program requirements, specific due dates e.g., applying for graduation, and approving the courses you take each semester. Students are responsible for meeting with their advisor prior to registering for classes. Students not meeting with an advisor may take unnecessary courses, courses out of sequence, or miss due dates; all of which may delay progress or incur added expense. Students not meeting with an advisor are accountable for their own progress.
