Academic Advising

The department of Communication and Media Studies conducts advising 2-3 weeks prior to Priority Registration. You must meet with your academic advisor in order to have your registration hold removed. Advising is your opportunity to discuss your portfolio, degree progress, internships, or any academic challenges you may be facing. 

Before meeting with your advisor, you must do all of the following: 

  1. Review your degree progress
  2. Review courses in LeoNet and create a potential schedule 
  3. Prepare your portfolio for your advisor to review 

 

You will receive more information about advising in advance of priority registration each semester. It is your responsiblilty to schedule an advising meeting and to be prepared for registration. Advisors have both face-to-face and virtual availability. Advising is not available during academic breaks or during the break between semesters.

For any questions or assistance that you have in the meantime, please contact your advisor. If you are unsure who to contact or have general degree questions, please contact Mr. Hunter Waddell. Students are assigned to their advisor based on their concentration of study:
