Advising/Student Responsibility


Each student is personally responsible for completing all requirements established for his or her degree by the university and department. To assist in this process, students are assigned an adviser from their academic discipline. A student’s adviser does not assume these responsibilities. While your adviser will counsel you, you are ultimately responsible for the following:
•    Proper completion of your academic program
•    Proper completion of all convocation requirements
•    Familiarity with all requirements of the university catalog under which you intend to graduate
•    Maintaining the required GPA
•    Meeting all other degree requirements
•    Attending commencement exercises at which your diploma will be conferred
•    Knowing and observing all regulations pertaining to campus life and student conduct
•    Familiarity with information contained in university publications
•    Maintaining communication with the university by keeping officials informed at all times of your current address, including zip code and telephone number.
