Information Session on Changes to Academic Advising Services, Dec. 4

Event: The deans for Student Affairs at the College of Communication will conduct an information session to overview the changes in academic advising services, which will take effect Jan. 16, 2007.

When: 5 to 6 p.m., Monday, Dec. 4, 2006

Where: CMA 2.320 (CMA Auditorium)

Background: In an effort to better serve students in the College of Communication, the Office of Student Affairs is centralizing its academic advising services and changing its appointment scheduling process effective Jan. 16.

The Office of Students Affairs is moving to an advising model in which a team of academic advisors is dedicated to each department within the college. This will enable students to have a single advisor through the course of their undergraduate experience. Advisor assignments will be sent via e-mail between Dec. 5 -8.

Beginning Jan. 16, currently enrolled College of Communication students will be able to make their own advising appointments via a new online appointment system. Students will be able to log on and see their assigned advisor’s availability for a range of dates and select the appointment time that best fits their schedule. Appointments can still be made by phone through the Office of Student Affairs, but the online system provides an added level of convenience that includes e-mail reminders.
