Upon admission to the Nutrition Sciences graduate program, an academic advisor will be assigned to each student. Students will need to meet with their academic advisor before their initial enrollment to discuss their program of study (also known as outline of graduate work). Prior to enrollment each semester, students will need to meet with their advisor and have their enrollment form signed. If it is difficult to meet in person with your advisor, students can scan or take a picture of the enrollment sheet and send to the advisor for signature.
Once a student identifies a thesis or non-thesis project mentor, ideally in their first semester of graduate work, the project mentor will assume academic advising responsibilities. The “new” advisor is responsible to inform the old advisor, the administrative assistant responsible for enrollment, and graduate program director of this change. The student should be copied so they are aware.
