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.
