At the time of first enrollment in the Graduate
School, students will consult individually with the graduate
director of the Department, who will discuss their academic
plans with them and serve as their graduate advisor during the
first year. Subsequently, during advising periods the students
will confer with their advisor and arrive at an appropriate
schedule of courses. Beginning with the second year, students
will work with a faculty advisor chosen by the student. Students
should never hesitate to approach faculty members for counsel
about their academic standing.
