1-3 RESPONSIBILITIES OF FACULTY ADVISERS

Although students have the primary responsibility for planning their programs, faculty advisers are expected to:

1. be available for conferences at appropriate times and places about which their advisees have been informed;

2. provide accurate information about academic regulations and procedures, course prerequisites, and graduation requirements;

3. assist students in planning academic programs suited to their interests and abilities and their career objectives;

4. discuss with their advisees appropriate course choices in fulfilling curriculum requirements as well as possible consequences of various alternative course choices;

5. inform their advisees when their proposed course selections conflict with University academic or curricular regulations;

6. assist advisees with following proper procedures for such things as exemptions to the course drop deadlines, auditing a course before or after taking it for credit, taking a course using the credit by examination policy, registering for 19 or more credit hours, registering for Cooperating Raleigh Colleges interinstitutional courses, or repeating a course previously passed;

7. refer their advisees for special testing or counseling as needed; and

8. assist their advisees in considering the appropriateness of academic adjustments where these become necessary in cases of serious injury or illness.
