Frequently asked questions about advising
If I visit a College of Health Professions (CHP) Student Service Center academic advisor, do I still need to see my faculty advisor?
Yes. CHP Student Service Center academic advisors will help you with your major map, but you will still need a faculty advisor to sign your major. It is also helpful to build a relationship with an expert in the field of your interest.
What should I plan to bring to my appointment with the CHP Student Service Center academic advisor?
Come prepared by bringing a copy of your Bulletin and orientation documentation if applicable (transfer students only). We recommend that you keep copies of all forms and documents for your records.
How often should I plan to meet with an academic advisor?
You should meet with an academic advisor, either in the CHP Student Service Center or your faculty advisor, at least once a semester to discuss your plans and to make sure you are on-track to graduate in a timely manner.
Can my parents speak with my academic advisor?
Advisors are limited to what information can be shared with parents due to federal laws.
How do I sign my major(s) and/or minor(s)?
You need to officially sign your major by the time you have 56 credit hours unless otherwise stated by your designated major. You should contact your faculty advisor to schedule a time for filling out the necessary forms.
Can an advisor in the CHP Student Service Center help me with questions about a major or career options?
Yes! If you are undecided but know that you would like to go into a health-related field, then we can help you find the right major and career path for you. Call and set up an appointment to meet with an academic advisor.
