Academic Advising
Location: Batts Hall, BAT 2.102
Hours: Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 12:00pm, 1:00pm to 4:30pm
We assist students with: understanding degree requirements, study abroad programs, honors programs, petitions, special waivers, academic warning, and transfer of credit. We also assist students with class registration, the add/drop process, semester planning, and making appropriate referrals to campus resources.
While advising is not required for students UNLESS they are new to the major or on academic warning, it is recommended that all GOV majors visit the advising office at least once a semester.
We are back to appointments only.
Our office only holds drop-ins during high traffic times like registration & add/drop.
