ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT AND PLANNING

Advisement:
School of Social Work advisers are committed to assisting students in the area of academic planning. The responsibility of meeting graduation requirements belongs to the individual student. In planning their schedules all students should carefully follow the instructions in the Catalog and recommendations of their advisers and should print a degree audit from the web. In the event of a discrepancy between an adviser’s word and the Catalog, final interpretation of graduation requirements rests with the Records and Advisement Office. An effective tool to use in registering is the Academic Advising Guide which can be found at http://southern.edu/records. The Guide provides a sequence of courses to take each semester of the program/major.
