Initial Advising and
Registration
Students admitted to Eastern Michigan University are advised
their first semester by personnel of the Academic Advising Center (AAC). Exceptions are:
- All Music majors
- All transfer Art majors
who are advised
by faculty advisors within these departments, due to additional
conditions of admission or special permission for certain courses.
Students will be given course suggestions by AAC personnel.
Students
will receive help in choosing classes from the Class Schedule
and how to use the my.emich Registration system.
INDIVIDUALIZED ADVISING AGREEMENT
After their initial advising, students receive an Individualized
Advising Agreement, which identifies where on-going advising
will
take place. If students remain "undeclared" their first semester,
they will receive advising through the Academic Advising Center
(AAC). With the additional exceptions of PASS, and Individualized
Study Program majors, all other students are assigned for advising
to the department of their major, as well as, the College's Advising
Center for their major; business students, however, are assigned
to
the Assistant Dean of the
College of
Business
if not yet admitted to the College.
WAIVER OF ACADEMIC ADVISING
Students may choose to have their academic advising waived.
AAC does not recommend this option. However, sometimes a student
may have spoken with his/her advisor within the department of
his/her major. In this case, the student has learned about the
program, the General Education requirements, and would know which
classes to take during his/her first semester. Yet, even in
this
situation, the student will be losing some important information.
If you would like to waive your academic advising, you may print
the "Waiver
of Academic Advising" form
, complete it, sign, and fax, mail, or bring it to:
