Academic Advising Guidelines:

Academic advisors keep an updated folder for each of his/her advisees. Student folder includes:

• Student’s high school diploma
• Transcript of the previous semester
• Student’s schedule of the current semester
• List of the courses that will be offered in the coming academic semester
• Both the student’s high school diploma and previous semester’s grades can be used as indicators that the student’s academic abilities qualify him/her to pursue his/her chosen program of study. For example, Engineering candidates are expected to have achieved a grade of a “C” or better in each of the scientifically-oriented core subjects (Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and other related subjects).
• Also, it is highly recommended that advisors keep a precise and concise report on each advising session with a student. This report should be kept in student’s file and periodically be updated.
• Advisors are expected to schedule the advising session during their office hours and post these hours on their office doors. If they have an administrative assistant, he/she will schedule the advising hours each week at times convenient for students. During pre-registration and registration periods, advisors are expected to increase their advising hours.
