Academic advising meetings occur once every term (typically in October, March, and August) and allow you and your academic adviser to discuss your academic performance, elective course selection, and your progress toward completing the MPH program requirements.
Academic advising meetings are scheduled by the MPH Program. Once the meetings are scheduled, if you have a conflict arise, it is your responsibility to contact a classmate to see if they are able to switch meeting times with you, then notify your academic adviser of the change.
Plan to arrive at your academic advising meeting 5-10 minutes before your scheduled meeting time. Bring a copy of your proposed course list for the upcoming academic term.
