Advising

Faculty are required to advise and counsel undergraduate and graduate students on academic matters. Individual faculty members are responsible  for providing academic counseling to undergraduate students assigned to them and to other undergraduate students who seek such advice, as needed. Student advising at the graduate level is conducted by the student's "major professor" and the student's thesis or dissertation committee members. In order to assist in student advising, faculty members should maintain current knowledge of University, College, and Department programs and requirements.
