Each student is assigned an advisor when they declare an art major or minor. Art minors are advised by the assistant chair of the department. Students are strongly encouraged to visit with their advisor each semester, to insure that they are progressing properly. Advising sign-up sheets are usually posted on advisors' office doors during the two-week advising period between convocation and preregistration. Students may also schedule appointments to visit with their advisors at any time during the semester. Students may "self-advise" if they have attended the convocation mentioned above. Self-advising students must sign a waiver form available in the department office EACH semester they choose to self-advise.

Advising Policies

The following policies MUST be adhered to in order to participate in preregistration:

• Your advising hold must be removed by the department secretary. To do this, you must have:
• Met with your advisor and had that advisor sign off on your folder, OR
• Attended convocation and signed a Self-Advising Slip in the department office
• Show up on preregistration day! Failure to do so will result in your being unable to preregister for any studio courses for the following semester. If you know you will be unable to attend, you should fill out a proxy form which states your reasons for not attending, and the courses you wish to enroll in in order of importance to you. Faculty members will register for you at the appropriate time based on your credit standing. Proxies may ONLY be used for LEGITIMATE reasons.
• At preregistration, fill out the slip indicating your projected course needs for the next preregistration. Course offerings are determined using these slips, so it is in your best interest to fill them out!
