Academic Advising
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.
