Students in the School of Communications and Theater are advised by professional academic advisers and faculty advisers. New students (up to 30 credits), transfer students in their first semester, interdepartmental majors, undeclared students, and students on academic probation make advising appointments in the Advising Center on the third floor of Annenberg Hall. All other students are advised by faculty in their respective departments. See the department office for assignment to the appropriate adviser.

Academic advisers attempt to avoid errors when advising students about their program requirements, but schools and colleges cannot assume liability for errors in advising. Therefore, students must assume primary responsibility for knowing the requirements for their degree and for acquiring current information about their academic status.

Most students will be eligible to register for classes via touch-tone telephone or on-line. However, all students should meet with their advisers prior to the eligible phone registration period.

Students preparing to graduate will file necessary paperwork one semester prior to the graduation date. At that time, an appointment should be made in the Academic Advising Center for a graduation review.
