|
| |
Each student is ultimately responsible for meeting the requirements of
his or her academic program. |
| |
Once
advisor assignments are made and a student is notified of the
advisor’s name, it is the student’s responsibility to contact his/her academic
advisor and schedule an appointment. Each advisor will post his/her office hours--students
should go by the advisor’s office to check these hours and then call or return to the
advisor’s office during those hours and schedule an appointment. |
