academic advisers. The student-adviser relationship is viewed as a
partnership. Both members of the team have responsibilities
which, when properly fulfilled, enhance the student's opportunities
for academic success. Responsibilities of student adviser include
guidance in selection of courses, informing and explaining
admission procedure, transfer of credits and assisting in the
general adjustments to university life, serving as resource person
for university information and guiding students to meet graduation
requirements.
It is the student's responsibility to know their degree requirements,
to be accountable for university policies, and to obtain course-
scheduling information. Students are encouraged to meet with their
advisor to inform him/her of problems that may affect academic
performance, and utilize the advisor's expertise to most effectively
achieve their academic goals. The student holds full responsibility
for completion of degree requirements, including pre-requisites.
