Advisement

All students in English Department majors, are assigned a faculty advisor who is there to assist students in navigating their course requirements and successfully moving towards graduation. Advisement is an important part of the academic experience. For students, your academic advisor is a valuable resource whose work goes beyond helping you choose courses. Your academic advisor is a resource for you within the department. These are some of the many things your academic advisor may do:

• Help you choose appropriate classes
• Help you navigate your degree requirements, including things like  required credit hours, and upper division credits
• Help you with forms such as pass/fail forms
• Explain all of your options if you are having difficulty in your courses, including connecting you with campus resources that may help you
• Keep you informed of important dates, like when you file for graduation, add/drop periods, or course withdrawals.
• Discuss other issues that pertain to your academic career, such as post-graduation plans. 

Meeting with your advisor every term will help ensure that you have a rich intellectual experience, and will also ensure that you are on the path to timely graduation. If you have questions or concerns about your degree progress, your academic performance, or other things pertaining to your experience in the major and the department, your advisor can be a valuable resource for you. If you are not sure who your academic advisor is, you can find that information in the upper right-hand corner of your Degree Works Audit.
