The College believes that academic advising is necessary for the vitality and success of the student's undergraduate education. Students are assigned a faculty advisor upon admission to the school. All students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor at least once each year for assistance in planning a course of study that best reflects their academic and career interests, skills, and lifestyle. Students are also assigned a staff advisor in the CDM Academic Success Center to assist with providing interpretations of university policy, academic success strategies and support services.
