What should a student expect from an advisor at the junior and senior levels?
By this point the student should have declared a major and been assigned to an academic advisor in the particular department that oversees that major. As with freshman and sophomore years, students are expected to have two meetings in each semester, but the student has greater responsibility to prepare for those meetings, such as by completing a degree evaluation on Banner Web and search course schedules for the next semester to make tentative choices. Again, the academic advisor will review those choices, offer advice and then release the student to register electronically or by signing an APR filled out by the student. Other than helping the student prepare a schedule, advisors at that level will discuss internship opportunities, specialization of courses to match a student’s specific interest or point to research opportunities on or off-campus.
