Advising
Academic advising
There are three resources on campus for academic advising:
- The Bronco Advising Center is a campus-wide center where you can get help with academic records, financial aid, and student accounting.
- The CLASS Student Success Center is our college's advising center, which can help with questions about transfer credit, General Education requirements, and more.
- Faculty advisors in your major/option can help you plan your course of study, review your academic progress, plan future courses, and discuss your options for after graduation.
English Applied Language Studies, English Education, English Literary Studies, and Spanish majors select a faculty advisor in their major/option for themselves. The Bronco Advising Center and CLASS Student Success Center are open during regular business hours, and you can see faculty advisors during their office hours or by appointment (see the link at right for advisor contact information and office hours).
It's a good idea to meet with your faculty advisor at least once a semester—and don't wait until your registration period opens to do so, because there will be a line out your advisor's door. Before meeting with an advisor, you should do two things:
- Check your Student Center in BroncoDirect to see if you have any holds on your account, and try to take care of them.
- Have at least your next year of classes tentatively planned out in your Academic Planner.
Degree Curriculum Sheet & Advising Milestones archive
Your degree curriculum lists all of the requirements you must fulfill to graduate. Your advising milestones handout explains which classes to take and in what order.
Your major and the academic year you began the program determine which curriculum and milestones you should consult to plan your classes. (For example, if you started the Spanish major in Spring 2024, you should use the degree curriculum and milestones in the 2023-24 row of the Spanish column. Note that your curriculum year does not change if you switch options within the English major.)
Check your Degree Progress Report in BroncoDirect and consult an advisor if you have questions.
