CMU Off-Campus Undergraduate Academic Advising
Academic advising is provided to help you identify your educational needs, interests and goals. Academic advisors include professionals from education, business and government who have been trained to advise. Advising is available at your local program center at regularly scheduled times. You can also reach your advisor by phone, and in most cases, by fax and by e-mail. You will work with an academic advisor to complete a program plan which serves as the road map or guide to achieve your academic goals.
It is the student’s responsibility to schedule an appointment with the academic
advisor to develop the program plan. This should be done as early in your course
of study as possible – if at all possible, before you begin your second course.
If you decide to take course work before developing a degree program plan, the
work may not be applicable to the course of study you wish to pursue.
The academic advisor has authority over the student’s program plan. This
authority is limited by the curricula and the university’s policies and
practices. While the program plan is intended to be flexible, you should not
deviate from the program plan without the permission of the academic advisor.
Otherwise, you run the risk the deviations may not be applicable to the course
of study you have chosen. No student will be approved for graduation until an
approved program plan is on file at CMU’s Mount Pleasant office.
