Students accepted into the M.A. program are assigned a faculty adviser shortly after their matriculation and must consult with the adviser before each registration period in order to plan an appropriate course of study. Ideally, students will complete their required courses before enrolling in electives. Students in the certificate or continuing education programs may contact the Office of Student Affairs for their academic advising needs. Students who display poor academic performance during the semester (i.e., receiving a failing grade) will be asked to consult with their professors about their grades. If academic problems persist, a meeting may be scheduled with the Academic Dean or Faculty Chairman to discuss the reasons behind the poor performance and suggest ways to remedy the problems.
