ACADEMIC ADVISING FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Academic Advising

Academic advising will be on a continuous basis as a responsibility of the Faculties for full and part-time students.

The Dean of each Faculty shall appoint a body of academic advisors, responsible directly to the respective Dean, to help students in their choice of, and progression within, their programs of study.

Departments of the Faculties shall designate members to assist the coordination of academic advising in each faculty.

The recommendations for academic advising should not be construed as to prohibit use of students in academic advising.

No additional remuneration shall be paid to faculty members participating in academic advising services, except those participating in the summer advising program.

Each department shall provide course outlines and reading lists for the Academic Advisors for all courses offered by the department.

Advising is compulsory for all undergraduate and special students who intend to register in courses at Western University. (This does not apply to students in programs in Medicine, Dentistry, Law and Education.)
