ADVISING
Your best resource at VCU is your academic advisor. Talk to your advisor at least once a semester. If you don't know who your advisor is, contact your department to find out and arrange an appointment.
If you need advising and your advisor is unavailable, make an appointment to speak with your department chair.
If both the advisor and Chair are unavailable, make an appointment with Carolyn Henne (chenne@vcu.edu), the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
CURRICULUM
Know your degree requirements. Review the University Bulletin and speak with your advisor at least once a semester. Know VCU's Rules and Procedures.
