Students are required to meet with their academic advisor a minimum of one time per semester and are strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisor on a regular basis. Meetings with academic advisors are a great time to ask questions about plans of study and co-curricular opportunities, such as study abroad and undergraduate research.
