After being admitted to a degree or credential program, students are strongly urged to seek the guidance of their academic advisor. It is the advisor’s task to inform the student of his or her program requirements and to encourage prudent sequencing of courses.

After applicants have been admitted to degree status and have submitted a confirmation of intent to enroll, they are assigned to a temporary advisor to help sequence their early classes. After students have been in the program for at least one term, they are free to select any full-time, on-campus faculty member as their academic advisor. If students are in an emphasis program, they are initially assigned to the emphasis coordinator.
