How? |
» During the first year of studies, the Director of Student Affairs of each School will assign each student a faculty member as their advisor.
(Via the Administrative Offices of the School, you may request a change in advisor, if necessary)
» Although the frequency of the appointments is up to the decision of the student and the advisor, the effectiveness of academic advising depends on its continuity. It is advisor, therefore, that the student and advisor meet once a month (9 appointments per academic year).
» In order to aid in advising, the University has developed a calendar which indicates the topics which are recommended for discussion during each stage of the student's degree program
» The advising appointments may be arranged upon the initiative of the student or the advisor, and it is also up to them to set the duration of the appointments.
