GROUP ADVISING SESSIONS PLANNED

The College of Arts & Sciences Advising Office is planning group advising sessions for majors each fall and spring term. Several of these sessions were held in the fall 2008 term. Group advising will provide information about the advising process, including review of the degree evaluation, discussion of course roadmaps and question-answer opportunities for students. Students are encouraged to attend a group session when announced. Look for flyers and emails with details about upcoming group advising services. Or for more information, contact the COAS Advising Office at (904) 620-2797.

Important Message to All College of
Arts & Sciences Students

State of Florida mandatory budget cuts are having impacts on course offerings. The time has come for students to be responsible participants in the academic process. In selecting your schedule, we strongly advise you to give priority to the following:

  1. Be prepared to register on your appointment ticket time and date.
  2. Consider major requirements as your priority when designing your schedule.
  3. Choose your courses according to what you need to graduate.
  4. Take prerequisite courses so you are prepared for future major requirements.
  5. Do not select courses based on specific faculty or specific times.
  6. Arrange your work schedule to fit around the class schedule you select.
  7. Consult your advisor if you have questions about your requirements or your schedule.
  8. Invest extra time in studying to ensure success in your courses on the first attempts.
  9. Place your name of the wait list for any required course that closes before your registration date.
  10. Clear registration holds and get prerequisite clearances before registration begins.

If you need assistance please see your advisor now. We always experience a larger volume of students during registration and there is usually a longer wait to be advised. Also be aware that advisors do not design the course schedule and have no control over future course offerings. We can assist you with updating your Degree Evaluation and reviewing remaining requirements needed to graduate. Thank you.
