Advising
Undergraduate Advising in the Department of Biological Sciences
Faculty Advising:
When a student chooses a major in the Department of Biological Sciences they are assigned a faculty advisor with expertise in the major. DBS students must meet with their faculty advisor to be unblocked for registration each semester. However, a faculty advisor can be a fantastic resource of much more information.
Information about Registration:
Students must see their faculty advisor for unblocking. Students need to contact their faculty advisor by email to make an appointment. Before meeting with your advisor complete the registration worksheet.
