The Office of Retention and Advising |
|||||
| In a time when many higher learning institutions are eliminating the requirement for students to work with advisors before selecting courses, Marywood University has maintained the value of this personal contact between advisors and students in planning an academic program. Academic advising is an integral component of the Marywood University educational experience. The Office of Retention and Advising coordinates activities for both undergraduate and graduate advising including assignment of advisors, advisor development and working with students who are undeclared in their major or changing a major. Each Marywood University student is assigned an academic advisor to provide information and guidance in selecting, planning and completing an academic program. Advising by faculty members is an extension of the learning that takes place in the classroom. It is consistent with Marywood University's mission to provide a framework that enables students to develop fully as persons and to master professional and leadership skills. Graduate faculty advisors are professional role models, mentors, providers of guidance and advice, and a primary resource to assist or refer graduate students experiencing academic, personal, or administrative problems. Faculty advisors can also be excellent resources for graduate students. Graduate students who have not yet been formally accepted into a graduate program should seek academic advisement from the Office of Retention and Advising. All graduate students may consult the Graduate Catalog to receive information on the policies and procedures of the University, as well as services available to graduate students.
