ACADEMIC ADVISING
Sound planning is an integral part of academic success. It is important to know what is required academically in progressing toward a degree. Understanding degree requirements, as well as establishing early contact with an Academic Adviser, are key factors that will be of assistance in working towards your academic goals.
The Advising Advantage
It is essential that students develop a program plan in consultation with an Academic Adviser.
An Adviser will:
- Discuss your academic interests and goals
- Discuss various program options
- Help you to develop a program plan (a map of courses required for degree completion)
- Explain academic policies and regulations
- Refer you to appropriate departments and services as required
NOTE:
You are reminded that it is your responsibility to be aware of the rules, regulations and requirements pertaining to your degree/program.
The various Departments and Centres in the Faculty of Social Sciences provides academic advising to students who either are majoring in their programs or are interested in doing so. These advisers are particularly knowledgeable about their own programs and can often give you advice about which courses in the program are most appropriate to meet your specific needs. They can also help you with questions you may have about careers and postgraduate education. A listing of Academic Advisers in departments and centres are indicated on the following list.
