STUDENT ADVISING

Faculty members do academic advising of all biology majors within the department. All biology majors should register in the departmental office (Room 130, E. E. Just Hall). Incoming freshman are assigned faculty advisors who will advise the students until their completion of the major in Biology. A student may change advisors, but must do so through the departmental office. Students are expected to formally declare their major in the College of Arts and Sciences by the spring semester of their sophomore year, although formal declaration of the major may be made after the accumulation of 30 credits hours in the university. Graduation schemes for all departmental majors are initiated in the Educational Advisory Center and completed by Biology faculty members designated by the departmental chairperson. All "program cards" and program changes (including withdrawals) should be done in consultation with, and approved by, each student's faculty advisor.
