Academic Advising

Methodist University is proud to offer academic advising to students, both by faculty advisors and professional advisors. You may visit Academic Advising to find Curriculum Checksheets which outline the academic requirements for your major.

Role of advisor and advisee

An academic advisor is available to advisees to help them progress towards graduation. Advisors help advisees identify their academic and career goals as well as to assist students in achieving academic excellence. Advisors are knowledgeable about core requirements, major requirements and other institutional policies and procedures as outlined in the Methodist University Academic Catalogue. Advisors can further help by being able to recommend appropriate campus resources.

As an advisee, it is your responsibility to realize that an advisor is a tool to help you become academically successful. Ultimately, fulfilling all graduation requirements as outlined in the Methodist University Academic Catalogue is your responsibility. Visit your academic advisor regularly to ensure you are on track and to keep him or her up-to-date on your academic progress. Always seek help from your academic advisor before an academic situation becomes an academic crisis.

Academic Advice

Visit your Academic advisor regularly
Take advantage of the resources available to you such as the Writing Center and Tutoring services. Don’t wait until the last minute to utilize these services. Intend to use the Writing Center as soon as you are given an assignment. Meet with a tutor before you attain a low grade particularly in courses which are your weaker subjects.

Create a four-year plan
Use the catalogue to create a four-year plan of courses so that you will graduate in a timely manner. Your advisor may inform you of our departmental checksheets, but you should compare your checksheet with the Academic Catalogue before relying on the accuracy of the checksheet. The Registrar conducts your graduation audit based upon your catalogue requirements.

Furthermore, read your catalogue carefully to be sure you have the correct course pre-requisites if necessary and that you know when particular courses will be offered (fall, spring or both semesters).
