Academic Advising Timeline

Each Year

The Academic Advising Timeline details tasks that should be accomplished each year. While this timeline establishes the ideal situation, we understand that students come to us at various points in their academic careers and may progress differently through these tasks. Academic Advisors can help students customize this timeline to fit individual academic plans.
