Advising Information


You have already received an email with this message. However, it bears repeating. And, you will be one mad bear if your don't prepare for your advising appointment and meet with your advisor every semester, even when it is only "recommended." Little misunderstandings about your degree plan can become really big problems when you are ready to graduate.
