Welcome to the School

Your Success is our Success

SARUP’s advising staff members are the "go to" people. From the time students step in the door until they walk across the stage with a degree in hand, our advisors are here to offer their support and advice. And our advice goes beyond just helping students decide what classes to take. SARUP advisors listen to students’ concerns, aspirations and ideas, and help them to put things into place and keep things in perspective. Our program is challenging and SARUP advisors understand that. We are here to help alleviate some of the stress and worries that students can experience. We are experts at helping students problem-solve and discover appropriate solutions to their scholastic and philosophical quandaries. Of course, we’re here to ensure that students are properly registered, that they are taking the appropriate classes for their major, and to see that they have the proper credits and classes needed to graduate. SARUP advisors do much more than count credits, and if we can't help, we can direct students to the appropriate person or department to ensure that they get their questions answered and issues resolved.

Meet with Your Advisor Every Semester

To avoid costly delays and unnecessary credits, be sure to meet regularly with an advisor—at least once each semester. New transfer students should meet with an advisor prior to registration.

Academic advising is done by professional advisors in the School's Student Advising Office, Room 225.
 

Advising is generally done on an appointment basis. Because registration for Semester I (fall) classes occurs in April, it is best to make your appointment a month prior. For scheduling Semester II (spring) classes, make your appointment for October or early November.
 

Hours:  We are available during university business hours

(8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) to answer questions and to schedule appointments for students.

Visit Your Advisor When You:

• Have questions about majors, minors, certificate programs.
   

• Want to plan a schedule for the next semester or create an academic plan for your major.
   

• Have questions about the registration process.
   

• When you are preparing to register for the next semester. The Advising Office will assist you in the development of a course of study which reflects your academic background and academic goals.
   

• Have questions about anything on campus from "How to drop or add classes" to "Where can I get career information?"
   

• When you are having academic difficulties.
   

• When you need someone to talk to about personal issues.
   

• Need proper referrals to available campus and community resources, meeting your individual needs.
   

• Need assistance with the future academic/or professional opportunities in SARUP.
