The following statement of advising responsibilities was endorsed by the UW-RF Faculty Senate May 13, 1998
Responsibilities of Advisors in the Advising Process:
- Meet with new advisees in order to become familiar with their educational and career objectives.
- Meet with advisees at least once each semester to develop a plan of studies, help interpret catalog statements regarding requirements, schedule courses, and evaluate progress toward meeting academic and career goals.
- Read advisees' grade reports, and keep files with all pertinent information sent by the Registrar (uniform standards of confidentiality and security regarding files must be maintained).
- Direct advisees experiencing academic difficulties to appropriate sources of assistance.
- Encourage advisees to obtain information about extracurricular on-campus activities, organizations, internships, scholarships, as well as career opportunities and graduate programs
We at UW-RF take advising very seriously.
This on-line advising handbook does not take the place of personal contact between adviser and advisee.
Responsibilities of Students in the Advising Process:
- Become familiar with general education, graduation, and program requirements and monitor progress toward fulfillment of these requirements
- Schedule an appointment with your advisor in advance of your registration date and come prepared for this meeting with a course schedule and a draft of next semester's class schedule.
- Schedule an additional appointment with your advisor when in academic difficulty, before declaring a major or before withdrawing from the University.
- Seek your advisor's assistance with academic decisions rather than expecting advisors to make those decisions. Accept responsibility for the decisions you make.
- Seek information about on-campus opportunities appropriate to your major (clubs, teams, organizations), as well as internships, scholarships, career opportunities, and graduate programs.
