All CFA students are assigned peer advisors during their freshman year. Peer advisers establish a personal and helpful network between current and new students offering advice and guidance during this transitional time.
Beginning freshman year, CFA students are assigned faculty advisors within their department. Students must meet with their faculty advisors prior to registration each semester in order to obtain their Academic Advising Code.
The Assistant Directors within each School work closely with students and program details. Consider your school’s office when seeking program advice.
The College of Fine Arts has an Academic Counselor. The Academic Counselor works with students to understand program requirements and assists in overall guidance, whether it is personal or academic in nature. Advisement can assist you in understanding course requirements, planning your degree completion, semester course selection, and study abroad options among many other things. Students are encouraged to make appointments with the Academic Counselor, but walk-ins are also welcomed.
Graduate students are assigned a faculty advisor during their first year of study. Students must meet with their faculty advisors prior to registration at the start of each semester to obtain an Academic Advising Code, and are encouraged throughout the year to seek advice and support through their department of study.
The Academic Counselor also serves the graduate population with concerns about program requirements, degree completion and overall academic guidance.
