Academic Advising

All students are assigned an adviser upon entry into the School of Pharmacy. Advisers can offer assistance to students in numerous ways including selecting electives, offering advice during academic difficulty, career planning, and mentoring throughout the student’s career, among other things. It is each student’s responsibility to know their adviser and meet with them on a regular basis, even if the student is not having academic difficulty. Advisers can prove to be valuable resources. Adviser assignments for all students can be found on Blackboard under the documents tab.

Tutoring

Tutoring is available each semester to students who are at academic risk after the first exam week. The Rho Chi Honor Society coordinates the recruitment of tutors. Tutors are not required to be Rho Chi members, but should have earned a grade of at least a B in the course for which they are tutoring. Students who would like to serve as tutors must complete a tutor application located on Blackboard under the documents tab and obtain the signature of the instructor in the course for which they are tutoring.

Students may request tutors by completing a tutor request form located on Blackboard under the documents tab and obtaining the signature of the instructor in the course for which they wish to receive tutor support. If a student requests a tutor, it is highly recommended that he or she utilize professor/TA office hours, recitations, and help sessions to the fullest in order to reach their full potential.
