Academic Advisement

HOW TO CONTACT YOUR ADVISOR

  1. If you need to find out the name of your advisor, check at the Registrar's Office (E-212) or Academic Advisement (E-223).
  2. Use the Directory to obtain your advisor's office location and phone number.
  3. Check your advisor's office door for posted office hours for students.
  4. Or, call your advisor and leave a message to have him/her return your call.
  5. Become familiar with your advisor's office hours/schedule.
  6. Whenever possible, call to make an appointment rather than drop in without one.
  7. If it is necessary to drop in without an appointment, try to go at a time when your advisor is available; avoid the busiest time of the day, and allow plenty of time in case you have to wait to see your advisor.
  8. Because the first and last two weeks of each semester ar the busiest for your advisor, schedule longer conferences (to discuss issues like a possible major change, careers or graduation check) during the middle of the semester.
  9. You may obtain a "Request for Change in Advisor" form from the Registrar's Office if you need to change advisors.
