In a dual advising model, students work with two advisors: a faculty member within your major department, and a Harpur Academic Advisor. The relationship between the student, faculty, and Harpur Advisors offers an unique opportunity to design and foster a personalized advising experience. This collaborative model allows students to develop their educational and professional goals with the support of multiple campus partners.
STUDENTS SHOULD SEE A FACULTY ADVISOR FOR:
-
Declaring a major or minor
- Questions about how a major or minor are appearing on DegreeWorks
-
Specific questions regarding major/minor requirements, course sequencing and policies
-
Transfer credit evaluations for coursework counting toward the major or minor
- Broad questions about career options in their field of study
- When referred to by a Harpur Academic Advisor
STUDENTS SHOULD CONTACT HARPUR ADVISING FOR:
- General education and Harpur College requirements and policies
- Transfer credit petitions for General Education and Harpur requirements
- Major/minor exploration
- General degree planning and Degree Works issues
- Degree Applicable Credits for Financial Aid
- Forms and petitions (overload, late add/withdrawal, international student petitions, etc.)
- When referred to by your Faculty Advisor
