Students directly admitted to Journalism as freshmen have a full-time academic adviser in the School. Pre-journalism students receive academic advising from the
College of Arts and Science. Students admitted to an emphasis area in the School have a full-time academic adviser and a faculty adviser from their selected emphasis area. Students are expected to seek the advice of the academic adviser in the selection of courses. The faculty adviser provides career counseling. The School provides advising checklists so that students can maintain a record of academic course work. The forms are used by the student and adviser to plan the student's program. Students are responsible for determining an appropriate schedule of courses each semester; however, the course schedule should be approved by the student's adviser.
The responsibility for meeting admission and graduation requirements rests with the student.
