STUDENT AFFAIRS
STUDENT ABSENCES
Students are expected to maintain regular attendance at classes. Extended
absences (more than one week) due to illness, death in the immediate family,
or other extraordinary emergencies, may be reported to the Counseling
Service which will notify the facu lty concerned. When any absence occurs,
however, the student should contact the instructors involved concerning the
possibility of making up the work missed.
ADVISING SERVICES
The Office of Advising Services provides a variety of services designed to
aid the student in his or her academic pursuits- new student orientation,
coordination of faculty advising, tutorials, Student Advisement Center,
academic petitions, general education advising, undeclared major advising,
change of major and academic problems of a general nature.
Academic Advising. Each student is assigned to a facu lty adviser who is
a member of the academic department of the student's chosen field. Those
students who have not arrived at a choice of an acad,.,mic major are assigned
to a general adviser in the Office of Advising Services until a definite goal is
chosen. In addition, students wishing assistance with general education
requirements should consul t their facu lty adviser or the Office of Advising
Services. A faculty adviser assists a student in planning a program of classes 31
and in planning for the achievement of long-range educational goals. The
student, however, is expected to assume final responsibility for meeting all
specific degree and/or credential requirements.

involved in orienting new students to the University. The latter serve in the
Student Advisem nt Center {SAC), a service designed to aid new students
in making a smooth transition to University life. Staff are available on a daily
basis throughout th year to answer questions about the Computer Assisted
Registration {CAR) process and other concerns of new and continuing
students. A special summer program is also offered to aid new students and

relates to the community at large.

Services office also provides assistance in improving study skills and time
management.
