Advising

All students of the University are urged to seek advice from the Department concerning selection of courses and placement. A placement exam is required of students wishing to enroll in 1000 or 2000 level courses except 1301. Students considering a major in mathematics should consult with the Department as soon as possible. A faculty member can suggest courses that may help student decide.

Each major has a faculty advisor in the Department. The student and the advisor will have an introductory conference to talk about the program and to the student's aims and goals. At the beginning of the junior year, the student and advisor meet to take stock of how the student is doing and where the student is going. The advisor assists the student in course selection and post-graduate plans. It is imperative that all those who intend to major in mathematics contact the advisor for counseling at least once each semester before preregistration.
