What is Advising?
Academic Advisors assist you in:
- selecting courses that meet your major and career goals as well as keeping you on track for graduation,
- understanding the academic requirements by the College of Sciences and Marshall University, and
- finding resources to help you compose a semester schedule.
Academic Advisors do not:
- select specific times or instructors of courses, and
- register you for classes unless you are on Academic Probation or have a course overload.
