Student Responsibility in Academic Advising

Students are expected to be responsible for the following in their relationship with academic advisors:

• Be active and informed participants in the advising process and learn to take responsibility for the shape of their education and definition of their life goals.
• Read the publications and emails sent from the College Office.
• Become familiar with the information available on the College website. Reference the site throughout the undergraduate career.
• 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.
