02.06.01 Academic Advising

Students are responsible for planning that ensures completion of all degree requirements as outlined in their program of study. The student is urged to seek advice on these matters from his/her assigned advisor(s). The name of each student’s academic advisor is noted in the information packet distributed to the student during orientation. This information is also available in UR-Access-Plus. The Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, the student’s major applied teacher, and/or the student’s department chair also are available for counseling concerning various career opportunities, the student’s professional aspirations, and ways in which the student’s time at Eastman can be most productively used in preparation for professional life. New first-years are required to attend a group advising session, or obtain their advisor’s signature before registering for their first and second semesters of study. Undergraduate music education majors must also have their course selections approved by their advisor every semester until degree completion. (rev. 8/1/05)
