Is graduate student advising mandatory? If so, how often should a graduate student meet with a faculty advisor?
Yes. Graduate students must meet with an assigned advisor at least once a year. Mandatory advising must be scheduled with the assigned advisor during the second half of the Fall semester (earlier for newly admitted students). The faculty advisor should maintain a current record of each student’s progress on an advising spreadsheet.
