Advising Information
Academic advising is an essential component in the progress of students’
achievements. It offers the potential of linking their goals with institutional
recourses on a personalized basis. In fact, proper advising assist students
clarify their educational goals and relate these goals to the curriculum and
to future careers and advanced degrees. Therefore, it is very crucial for
students to contact their advisors in a timely fashion and register as early
as possible. The following are the important dates for advising and
registration:

• Winter Quarter Registration

January 2, 2008 thru January 11, 2008 (from 10am to 6pm)

• Spring Quarter Registration begins

February 19, 2008 (from 10am to 6pm)

Prospective Graduates
All prospective students who completed requirements and plan to
graduate should fill in the following application, sign and send in
before the deadline. The deadline for graduation is posted at least
two months in advance. You may contact your advisor for additional
information or call the record office at (312) 939-0111 ext 1802.
