Student Responsibility in the Advising Program

The student's responsibility in the academic advising program is to:

• • Be active and informed participants in the advising process and learn to take responsibility for the shape of their education and defining life goals.
• • Read the publications sent to them from the College Office, especially the Class Handbook. Read emails from the College Office and use the information available on the College website throughout their undergraduate years.
• • Be aware of registration-related deadlines.
• • Use Penn InTouch to make course and grading status changes and confirm the accuracy of their registration.
• • Keep appointments with their pre-major advisor and come to advising sessions prepared with a list of questions and issues to discuss.
• • Make appointments with, or send email to, assistant deans for advising in the College Office if they need advice outside the expertise of their pre-major advisor.
