Each School will provide an advisory program to help students integrate their campus experience with their personal values to prepare them for professional careers.

All freshmen will be assigned a Faculty Advisor who will assist them in the early period of the University experience. It is expected that this sustained personal contact with experienced faculty members will benefit the student in the selection of areas of concentration that match individual interests and aptitudes. Each student will have his/her progress towards the award of a degree carefully monitored by the Faculty Advisor. This would entail detailed meetings with the Advisor, particularly at the time of registration for courses.
