ACADEMIC ADVISING:
Upon entering a degree program, students are matched with a faculty member who will act as their academic advisor during their course of study. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor regularly. Reasonable and responsible alternatives are available, expecially for students studying at a distance and during the summer months. Students enrolled in the following degree programs are required to have the advisor's signature prior to course registration: medical laboratory technology, nursing, health information management, dental hygiene, and veterinary technology.
DECLARING THE MAJOR:
The baccalaureate in business degree program offers options in majors and concentrations. Students must declare the major at the time of admission.
CHANGING COLLEGES:
A student may request a "change of program" within the college, to another college, or from an associate to a baccalaureate degree. The student should contact the college of his or her current area of study for guidance.
