Advising
Advisement meetings are a critical part of the Interior Design Program. Much effort is taken to keep students in the correct sequence. The consequence of getting off sequence is the addition of a year to the student’s graduation plan.
It is the responsibility of each student to meet with his or her advisor during the regular advisement period prior to registration each semester. Students should sign up for an appointment on their advisor’s office door. Drop-in appointments are not acceptable, nor generally available. Please schedule a time during the faculty's posted office hour. Using the student’s unofficial transcript, and degree plan, students should develop a tentative schedule prior to their advisement appointment. A course sequencing matrix is provided for you as a guide. Please review to determine sequence of studio/labs.
Students are assigned to an advisor based on the first letter of their last name:
