Who gets an academic advisor?
Undergraduate, degree-seeking students at UNC Asheville are required to see their academic advisor at least once a semester, and are strongly encouraged to stay in regular contact with them throughout the year. Advisors guide students through course scheduling, major/minor selection, career and graduate school planning, and personal and academic difficulties. Students seeking a second degree, teacher licensure or certificate of major from UNC Asheville are also required to have an academic advisor. Graduate students should see the Master’s of Liberal Arts staff for advisor assignments. Dual enrollment, visiting, and non-degree seeking students are not required to have academic advisors, but we strongly recommend that you develop a relationship with a faculty or staff member whom you can go to with questions or concerns.
