Office of the Provost
Faculty and Unclassified Staff Handbook Chapter 2 -- Academic
Affairs
Advising
Admission to Teacher Education
Faculty members will find the policies and procedures
for teacher education programs from admission to certification in
the University Catalog. The Teacher
Certification Office is prepared to answer all questions relating
to this subject and to provide application forms for (1) admission
to programs, (2) student teaching, and (3) certification.
Assignment of Advisor and Major for New Students
Faculty members are selected and assigned by the department
chair to act as advisors. The Registrar assigns a student for advisement
to the department compatible with the student's academic interest
as expressed in the student's application for admission. The department chair
will assign the student to the specific advisor in the area of the
student's interest.
Entering students who do not express a field of interest
are assigned to the vice president for student affairs for advising.
(The assistant to the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences is
the advisor for the Bachelor of General Studies.)
Changing Advisor/Major
Advisors have an extremely important obligation. The
interest taken in a student by the advisor represents one of the
greatest services to the student and to the University.
An enrolled undergraduate student desiring to have
an advisor/major change should request a transfer of records from
the current advisor to the chair of the department in which the
student is majoring for an assignment of a new advisor/major; to
the vice president for student affairs for undecided majors; (to
the assistant to the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for
the Bachelor of General Studies.)
All advisors have access to their assigned advisees
through the on-line computing system.
Faculty Hours
Faculty should post office hours on office doors.
They should be available for two hours daily in order to confer
with students.

Mid-term grade reports for the fall and spring semesters are distributed to students through their advisors and are available to students on Tiger Tracks.
