Advising is absolutely essential for your success as a Journalism major. It's never too early or too late to see an adviser. You adviser is very knowledgeable about the program, and will be able to guide you in choosing courses and a career path.
Our department is part of the University's mandatory freshman advising program, so all freshmen who are declared Journalism majors will be seeing an adviser during their second semester at the University,
We recommend that every "home-grown" student and every transfer student see an adviser as soon as possible. When you come to see an adviser, he or she will start a personal file for you, which will be archived in the Journalism main office. You should bring that folder and an unofficial transcript every time you come in for an advising session.
We have posted here a list of advising documents. Please download and review them, but keep in mind that having these documents does not replace talking to an adviser.
