Adviser Expectations
What your adviser will expect from you:
-
That you give thoughtful consideration to your personal, educational, and career goals;
-
That you become familiar with your own academic program, including all applicable requirements;
-
That you accept responsibility for your decisions and choices;
-
That you give advance consideration to both your long-range and short-range curriculum plan, prior to your advising conference for each new term;
-
That you ask questions if you feel you have received insufficient or confusing information;
-
That you provide timely notice and information about any academic problems you encounter;
-
That you read your SMU e-mail and respond to all communications from the Advising Center;
-
That you honor and be prompt to scheduled advising appointments, and show consideration for other students whose conferences precede and follow yours.
