Student Success Center, RIC First Floor
Students are assigned a faculty advisor who will help them schedule courses and choose the electives that will meet their curricular requirements, as well as prepare them for their particular career goals. In addition to the faculty advisor, Academic Advisement is available to help students make appropriate decisions related to scheduling, course sequencing for specific career paths, and degree requirements. Each student is responsible, ultimately, for their course selections that lead to a university degree.
Academic Advisement works closely with students and offers guidance on academic, personal, and social matters. They also assist them with their adjustment to the University, maintain close contact with advisors, and provide academic counseling/support to students on academic probation. In addition to the guidance students receive from their faculty advisors, they should attend departmental meetings during the school year. These sessions, held twice each semester, give students the opportunity to obtain important information about their academic programs and an opportunity to ask faculty any questions related to their majors
Advisors
All students are assigned an advisor when they enter 平特一肖论坛 and should meet with their advisors prior to registering for courses, prior to midterms and final exams. Students are encouraged to discuss academic, career, and personal matters with their advisors at any time.
Add/Drop
Students may add or drop courses during the first week of classes.
Course Withdrawals
After the first week of classes, it is no longer possible to drop a course; however, students may withdraw from a course. Depending on the date of withdrawal, students will be responsible for partial or full tuition. Students may petition the Committee on Academic Standards if they believe that extenuating circumstances warrant their receiving permission to withdraw after the last day for authorized withdrawal (usually two weeks after midterm exams). Students receiving financial aid should always check with a financial aid counselor to see if course withdrawal will have adverse financial aid consequences.
Peer Mentor Program
New first-year students will have Peer Mentors during the fall semester as part of their first year 鈥淕earing Up鈥 experience. A Peer Mentor is assigned to an individual first semester course, assuring that all first-year students have access to a Peer Mentor to assist them in making successful transitions to 平特一肖论坛. Peer Mentors are 平特一肖论坛 students with sophomore through senior standing who work closely with new students. Peer Mentors can help students adjust academically and socially to university life and assist students in developing skills for a successful university journey. Peer Mentors have numerous resources available to them to help their fellow students make a smooth transition between high school and university. The Peer Mentor Program is designed to cover all aspects of university life and to assist students from the first day of classes.

Title IX is a crucial federal law that safeguards your entitlement to an education free from sex discrimination, which includes sexual harassment and sexual violence. Our university is committed to upholding this law and has established robust policies to address these issues. The Handbook includes the University's Policy Prohibiting Harassment, including Sexual Harassment, as well as its Sexual Violence and Assault Policy. These policies provide comprehensive information about your rights under Title IX.
To ensure compliance with Title IX, we have a dedicated Title IX Coordinator who oversees the university's adherence to the law. The Title IX Coordinator is readily available to address any questions or concerns related to Title IX from students or employees. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all members of our community, and our Title IX Coordinator plays a vital role in achieving this goal.
