The School of Education provides academic advisors who are responsible for the initial advising of all new undergraduate students. New students should meet with an advisor to plan their academic program, since requirements for certification are complex. It is the responsibility of the academic advisor to assist students with the planning and selection of courses in order to ensure academic progress toward graduation and certification in a timely fashion. It is the responsibility of all students to familiarize themselves with all program requirements, keep track of their progress, and meet application deadlines.  Advisors serve as a referral to other student affairs offices within the university.  For student’s rights and responsibilities concerning advising, visit http://arc.depaul.edu/statement.html .  To schedule an appointment with an advisor, call (773) 325-7740.
