Academic Advising
Academic advising is provided by the college/school/division in which you're enrolled. Your adviser may be a member of the faculty in your major or a professional adviser. He or she can help you to evaluate your educational plans, develop an academic program, and schedule each semester's courses, but expect to be a knowledgeable participant in this process! If you're changing from one Penn State location to another, consult with an academic adviser at the new location about course choices for registration. Academic advising centers are available to students in each college/school and in the Division of Undergraduate Studies. (Lists of academic advising centers at University Park and other locations are available online.) When working with an adviser, be sure that you understand your role and the role of the adviser. To find out who your assigned academic adviser is, use "Adviser Information" in eLion.
