Academic Advising
Academic advising is considered an integral function of the teaching role of faculty members. When you start at Pitzer College, you'll be assigned a faculty adviser.
You are encouraged to consult frequently with your adviser concerning the formulation and development of your academic program. However, your relationship with your academic adviser goes far beyond formal approval of course enrollment selections.
In addition to helping you select courses, the relationship you develop with your adviser should allow for easy discussions of a variety of issues:
- Goal-setting
- Time management
- Balancing academics with other parts of life
- Adjusting to the academic rigors of Pitzer College
In short, you should have discussions with your adviser about how to achieve and maintain academic success at Pitzer.
