Responsibilities of Advisers and Students (Senate Policy 32-30)
Both advisers and students share responsibility for making the advising relationship succeed. By encouraging their students to become engaged in their education, to meet their educational goals, and to develop the habit of learning, advisers assume a significant educational role.
The advisee's unit of enrollment will provide each advisee with a primary academic adviser, the information needed to plan the chosen program of study, and referrals to other specialized resources. The college or department also will monitor the progress of its students towards satisfactory completion of all graduation requirements and inform students of their status each semester. Advisees in turn will routinely contact their advisers each semester and will assume final responsibility for course scheduling, program planning, and the successful completion of graduation requirements.
