Advising

Student's Responsibilities

Students are expected to have a complete understanding of the requirements for the Economics major and for graduation. Students should know which of the requirements they have completed and which requirements they still need to satisfy for graduation. Students should review Requirements for the Economics Major, Hypothetical Plans of Study, information for Transfer Students (if applicable), and the information in their Undergraduate Catalog to complete the major in Economics and to satisfy University graduation requirements. The Department respects its students' abilities to implement their own academic plans

Advisor's Responsibilities

The Undergraduate Academic Advisor advises all of the Economics department's undergraduate majors and minors. The Academic Advisor maintains an advising schedule during the regular academic year. Students wishing to meet with the Academic Advisor may schedule an advising appointment online. If a student knows he/she is not going to be able to make a scheduled appointment it is his/her responsibility to cancel the appointment in a timely fashion so that time slot can be made available to another student. Simple advising questions can be emailed and will be answered as time permits. Depending on the nature of the question, the Academic Advisor can require that the student schedule an appointment. Due to resource constraints, walk-in advising is not available.

Advising will be available on an extremely limited basis during the summer due to resource constraints. In particular, formal advising will only be available during the week immediately following the end of the Spring semester and in the two business days immediately preceding the beginning of the Fall semester. Students can submit questions to the Academic Advisor via email at other times during the summer, but the ability to respond to those queries will be limited.
