  • Identify pre-requisite and elective coursework 
  • Track your academic progression
  • Regularly meet to discuss time to degree, coursework planning, QE preparation, etc.
  • Provide signatures on Graduate Studies forms 
  • Advise and mentor on professional growth
  • Navigate complex and challenging conversations and situations

If you have questions or concerns, reach out to your Graduate Advisor today!
