Academic advising is a connecting
point for all Fort Hays State University students. At FHSU,
we believe in the importance of academic advising, so each
of our students has been assigned an advisor. An advisor is
a faculty member or trained professional with whom you have
the opportunity to meet with and talk to one-on-one about
your academic program and your career/life goals--but you
need to take the initiative. Your advisor helps you plan your
course of study and makes suggestions in your program planning.
He or she may help you with investigating careers. An advisor
may refer you to other faculty or offices for help.
You should contact your advisor when you have
academic related questions or issues. Advisors can be reached
during office hours, by e-mail, phone, regular mail or you
can check with the department office to see when your advisor
is available. Faculty advisors also teach classes and work
on academic research, so advisement hours may be limited.
If you are unable to make contact with your advisor, you may
want to send a note or call your advisor to set up an appointment.
Each semester before registering, you should
do some thinking and planning. Review the Catalog to become
familiar with your major, general education requirements,
and the policies and procedures of FHSU. Your advisor can
guide you in decision making, but the choices are yours to
make.
