At the University Park Campus, you can find several sources of academic information:
1. Your Academic Adviser
You will be advised by an academic adviser in the college
in which you're enrolled. This person may be a professional adviser
or faculty member in your college. He or she can play an important
role in your college career by helping you plan an academic program
and schedule each semester's courses. Use Adviser Informaiton on eLion to find out who your adviser is and how to contact him or her. What if you and your assigned adviser are not compatible? Contact the
program or department head or the director of your advising center and ask for
another adviser.
