Academic Advising

Upon admission to the School of Business, you are assigned an academic advisor. The primary goal of the academic advisor is one of advocate and liaison for you. Sessions with an advisor are required prior to the next semester of classes. Academic advisors are aware of and communicate to you the requirements and prerequisites for each business major. Although course selection is an important part of advising, degree requirements, career guidance, academic difficulties, and personal issues may also be discussed. During the course of an advising appointment, questions and concerns can be confidentially addressed and shared between you and your advisor. Advisors are always available throughout the semester to answer questions and provide support. Although you are ultimately responsible for your own progress, your academic advisor is a valuable resource. Building a relationship of trust between you and your academic advisor is an integral factor in your success.

Your role in preparing for your advising appointment:

Make your appointment for advisement in person at the Student Center in Lumpkin Hall 2051. You will be prompted to make your advisement appointment through your EIU email account; always check your EIU email account for this and other important information from the Student Center: .

Review your major requirements and come with a plan for the next semester.

Check the course descriptions in the academic catalog to make sure that you meet the necessary prerequisites for all classes before registering.

Convenient checklists are currently available for business majors to keep track of their progress; please see the "Student Resources" section below for links.

If you have completed 60 or more semester hours (business majors must also be admitted to the School of Business), you are eligible to apply for graduation, and you should apply at least one full year before you plan to graduate. Applying for graduation ensures that your degree requirements will be checked and you will be certified for graduation. Click here for more details, and log onto PAWS and apply.

If, for any reason, you realize you will be unable to keep your advisment appointment, call 581-3528 to reschedule--only if absolutely necessary. Remember, if you miss your appointment, you may not be able to reschedule prior to your day to register.
