Academic Advising for Graduate Students
Academic advising for graduate students varies widely from school to school and from program to program. Some of you have little choice about what classes or sections to take—the course of study is pre-determined and prescribed. In many fields, however, you have quite a bit of choice about courses. You usually see an advisor in your program or department to discuss course elections and progress towards a degree, and are usually expected to consult with your advisor before each term’s registration. Contact your department to find out what kind of academic advising is available to you.
