Academic Advisors for BMB Students
The advisor / student relationship should be one of the most significant aspects
of a students college experience. Academic advisors provide essential guidance and
will assist with course selection each semester. In addition, advisors offer valuable
career information and often help students obtain useful practical experiences and
may help establish professional contacts.

It is the student's responsibility to contact their advisor if they are having difficulty
with courses or course load. If something is causing a student to struggle in class
(sickness, personal problems, or a learning disability), the student should contact
the advisor and/or CABNR Student Center
for assistance.
Faculty advisors and students are encouraged to review courses and requirements
early and often to avoid unnecessary frustration when problems are identified close
to the anticipated semester of graduation. If a student has transfer credits, it
is especially important to verify the credits as early as possible.
