DLIS prides itself as a tightly knit, collaborative community
that supports its students from the prospective admissions stage
through graduation and beyond. Our faculty and staff offer students
advising and guidance that supports their academic, personal and
professional growth.
Advising and mentoring are available with specialists eager to
find the information you need and offer sound advice that will
propel you to achieve your academic goals.
Advisement
Students have the benefit of professional and academic
advisement from faculty. Faculty are available for current
and prospective students by phone or e-mail or in person by
appointment or during established group advising sessions or
walk-in hours prior to registration at the beginning of each
semester. They are the best resource for navigating course
selections and development of a personal career path.
For DLIS and University policies, our Administrative Assistants are
always eager to assist. They are ready and eager to assist
you with filling out forms and paperwork and navigating other
university offices/services such as Financial Aid, International
Services, etc.
Students will meet with their assigned advisor in October prior to
registration for the Spring semester and in March prior to the
Summer and Fall semester. New students will need to have their
initial Plan of Study reviewed by the Director. Otherwise,
students should feel free to consult their advisors on an as-needed
basis.
