Student Advising

Upon admission to one of our programs, each student is assigned a faculty advisor who remains with the student until graduation. Faculty advisors assist students with quarterly registration, monitor and encourage students’ academic success, and assist with academic issues or concerns.

Registration for new students is done as part of the admissions process. All subsequent registration, beginning with quarter two registration, is completed through the faculty advisors. Students schedule an appointment with their advisors between the fifth and eighth weeks of the current quarter to register for the next quarter.

Adding or Dropping a Course
A course may be added up until the end of the first week of a quarter; after the first week, students may not add a course to their schedule. A course may be officially dropped through the second week of a quarter without academic penalty. If the student never attended any class sessions of that course, he/she may receive a refund. However, if he/she attended any class sessions, no refund will be given. A student who stops attending class without securing official withdrawal approval automatically receives an “F” in the course(s). If the student accumulates excessive absences before an official withdrawal of the course, he/she will receive an “F.”
