Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to my appointment with my academic advisor?
Please bring a list of any questions or concerns you have to your appointment with your academic advisor. Your academic advisor may give you tasks to complete after your appointment based on what you discuss.

What if I don't know who my academic advisor is?
You can find your academic advisor by logging into and reviewing your ‘Success Network’ – that is where your academic advisor will be listed. You can also email the Director of Advisement, Ann Marie McGlynn, for assistance.

Can I graduate early?
Students in the School of Education follow a cohort model, which requires that they follow the scope of their program. Each semester builds upon the next, so our courses are offered once a year to allow for appropriate sequencing of course requirements. Also, our students participate in valuable fieldwork and student teaching experiences to fulfill certification requirements. Therefore, students are unable to accelerate their program.
