Advising Expectations

Academic advisement is a collaborative effort. Your adviser will guide you, but it is ultimately your responsibility to register for courses and complete all degree requirements.

Your advisor is expected to provide:

• accurate and timely information about University policies, procedures, and requirements
• guidance in exploring your academic options and examining your educational goals
• assistance in course selection and scheduling
• assistance in completing academic forms, e.g., Action Request, Petition Procedures, Study at Another Institution/Study Abroad
• reviews of your academic progress throughout your time at Adelphi
• confidential referrals concerning academic and personal matters, as needed

You are expected to:

• examine your academic and personal goals prior to initial and subsequent meetings
• take responsibility for your choices and decisions
• develop a tentative list of courses prior to your advising appointment
• arrive promptly to all scheduled meetings
• be familiar with the requirements for graduation and for your major
• provide timely notice about any academic problems
• be familiar with the policies, procedures, and requirements detailed in the Undergraduate Bulletin
