Academic Advising
Academic Advising
Regular consultation with an academic advisor is an essential aspect of all students’ personal academic management and planning. Consultation at least once each semester for scheduling advice and assistance with registration procedures is the minimum expectation.
Academic advising for students in the College of Communication and Information is provided in each of the school offices (Communication Studies majors, 135 Taylor Hall; Journalism and Mass Communication majors, 328 Franklin Hall; Visual Communication Design and Photo Illustration majors, 231 Art Building). Students who are CCI General [CCIG] majors or those not sure which field in Communication to choose are advised in Communication Studies. The school offices provide advising for transfer students and intervention and referral programs for students on academic probation that include small group and individual counseling. Students may schedule an appointment with an academic advisor online through the website, http://cci.kent.edu/advising and/or individual school websites.
It is the student’s responsibility to seek out and use the advising resources available.
Requirement Audit
Upon completion of 60 semester hours, students are strongly advised to contact an academic advisor in their respective school to obtain a current evaluation of all progress toward completion of the chosen degree program. Requirement evaluations are not a substitute for meeting with an advisor. Questions about KAPS reports can be answered in the school advising offices.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEETING ALL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS rests with students. The various advising services provided by the schools and the college are an effort to support and assist students in meeting this responsibility. Students’ failure to comply with all duly publicized academic requirements, however, is not the responsibility of the university.
Transfer Advising
Students transferring into the college from another university should make an appointment in their respective school advising office to determine applicability of transfer credits to their program before registering for classes. Those seeking admission to schools or programs with specialized admissions requirements should check the school’s section of this Catalog for special requirements.
