Each full-time student enrolled at Augustana College is assigned a faculty advisor. Degree seeking part-time students who have indicated a major, will also be assigned a faculty advisor. Undeclared students are advised by their faculty mentors.
Advisors assist students with class registration and other academic planning issues. Since most advisor assignments are made on the basis of choice of major, students have the opportunity to receive specific advice on course content, internships, graduate school programs, career planning, and scholarship opportunities.
Faculty advisors at Augustana are eager to establish a personal relationship with their advisees. Students are encouraged to assume an active role in their advising relationship and to be familiar with the general education requirements. Course offerings and descriptions are published on a regular basis and should be reviewed before meeting with an advisor. Most importantly, students have the responsibility to make advising appointments on a regular basis.
Students may change advisors at any time by completing a "Change of Advisor" form available at the Registrar's Office.
