Student Handbook - Advising
Advising
All entering students are assigned an academic advisor for the purpose of course selection and academic development. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisors at least once before each semester to plan their curriculum. Second-semester students change their advisor in the weeks preceding registration. Students may also change their advisor for any reason by completing the Change of Advisor form, located at the GPIA office.
Advisors hold regular office hours and are available to meet with students throughout the academic year as well, although registration only takes place during the formal registration periods (see section on Registration). Students are encouraged to meet with other faculty and administrators as well. Your advisor is the first and best contact for questions about program requirements, general advice and resources available to students.
