ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic Advising and Career Exploration Center, B701 Wiest Hall, 628-5577, www.fhsu.edu/aace/
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 and talk with one-on-one about your academic program and your career/life goals--but you need to take the initiative. Your advisor assists you in:
~clarifying individual values, career goals and the challenges of life in the 21st century,
~developing suitable educational plans and programs of study for each student,
~selecting appropriate courses and other educational opportunities,
~reviewing and evaluating progress toward established educational goals and completion of requirements within individual programs of study,
~developing awareness and understanding that decision-making in the advising process and life is based on a system of shared responsibility,
~encouraging you to utilize university support services and related resources as needed,
~clarifying and improving your knowledge of career options and potential for career change in the workplace of the 21st century, and
~addressing your individualized academic advising.
You should contact your advisor when you have academic-related questions or issues. Advisors may be reached during office hours by e-mail, phone or regular mail or you may 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.
Each semester before pre-enrolling for classes, you should do some thinking and planning. Review the online 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.
