Role of Advisors
Students are assigned to a faculty advisor for assistance in developing a plan of study and for continued advice and counsel throughout their years at Millikin. Students and advisors work collaboratively to develop the student's plan of study, which is reviewed and revised throughout the students' undergraduate years. Continuous student-advisor interaction is an integral part of the educational process.

Each semester, students confer with their advisor prior to registration and if they wish to make changes to their plan of study (i.e. adding or dropping courses, changing majors/minors). Faculty advisors maintain regular office hours for student conferences. Students may also request appointments in addition to those arranged by the advisor.

Assigning Advisors
New students participate in special advising sessions at a registration program prior to enrollment. After this initial session, students are assigned to faculty advisors based on their major field of interest. Exploratory students (i.e. students who are undecided about a major or who are not ready to formally declare a major) are assigned an advisor in the Academic Development office.
