学术顾问

学生的基本责任和期望

（以2015年11月17日学院批准的名单为准）

教师和学生之间的建议可能涉及生活的许多方面； for purposes of the basic list of responsibilities and expectations for academic advising we have limited our definition to the knowledge, skills, and actions needed for a student to complete the academic requirements for graduation. While many students will have larger, even mentoring-type relationships with their advisors, this definition recognizes the practical limits on academic advisors regarding planning beyond their areas of expertise.

The lists below are meant to focus on the student side of this relationship - the things each student needs to have some mastery over in order to track and be sure of successful completion of their academic degree requirements. Faculty advisors can and should be able to help clarify requirements and explain the choices, but some aspects of academic planning remain of necessity the responsibilities of the students. 最终，完成毕业要求只能由学生来完成。

For all aspects of the academic program, the Office of 记录 remains the most authoritative source of information, and anyone, whether faculty or students, should consult the Office of 记录 when particular information is not found, or is not entirely clear, in published sources like the college Undergraduate Catalog, which includes course descriptions, fees, prerequisites, program requirements, and so on.

Again, the lists below focus on the side of these responsibilities and expectations within the purview of students at 威尼斯人平台. There is a parallel list for faculty advisors to help them assist their students.
