  • Take initiative and utilize academic planning tools and campus resources
  • Participate in self-exploration and reflection regarding career and educational goals while accounting for your own values, abilities, and skills

Advisor Responsibilities:

  • Understand and clarify university policies, regulations, deadlines, and procedures
  • Help you make informed decisions about course selections that satisfy your SPS degree requirements
  • Help you navigate academic planning tools and campus resources
