When Should I Talk to an Advisor?
Undergraduate Students

- If you need information on coursework.
- If you get a C- or less in any course.
- If you have a lower-division GPA < 2.8, or an upper-division GPA < 2.0
- Before using course forgiveness.
- Before taking any GE course in the sciences.
- Before taking any course Credit / No Credit.
Graduate Students
Graduate students are expected to meet with their program advisors and coordinators to discuss courses and file various documents. Filling out a Degree Completion Plan, Program of Study, and Petition for Adjustment of Academic Requirements requires the aid of a student’s Advisor.
