Advising Office
740-284-5262
Egan Hall, Room 104
Upon declaring a major, students are assigned a faculty advisor to help navigate degree requirements and explore further educational and career opportunities. Choosing a major involves an ongoing process of discerning our unique set of gifts, talents, interests and abilities. Faculty advisors are one resource to help students discern whether the major is a good fit. The Advising Office is another resource for students exploring various majors.
Students may visit the Advising Office for assistance with core requirements, program requirements, majors or minors, understanding transfer credit, degree completion is- sues, study abroad opportunities, guidance on academic policies, and issues impacting academic success. Students with multiple midterm deficiencies may be contacted to discuss strategies for success or to consider withdrawal options. Students requiring a total withdrawal from the semester begin the process by meeting with the director of Advising and Academic Operations.
Change of major/minor requests are processed by the Advising Office. This and other forms pertinent to academics are available in Egan 104. Students who have not yet declared a major will be assigned an academic advisor from the Advising Office and are encouraged to meet with staff in the Career Services and Planning Office in Starvaggi for career exploration.
MyFranciscan (online) contains valuable advising resources on the academics tab including students’ assigned advisor, a list of courses completed, and an advising work- sheet listing degree requirements. Contact the Advising Office for any questions about or corrections needed on the advising worksheet. Full degree requirements are avail- able on the program listings in the University catalog. Degree completion requires the total credit requirement (124 credits for bachelor degrees), the overall GPA requirement (2.0 for undergraduates, 3.0 for graduate students), the major GPA requirement (undergraduate), and all major or program course and other requirements.
