Academic advising is an integral part of your undergraduate education. The College of Business and Economics advising center provides each student with the resources, guidance and support. Advisors will assist you with developing an educational plan, transfer course evaluations, declaring your concentration and helping you explore your academic interests. Undergraduate students are welcome to meet with an advisor by scheduling a personal consultation, emailing an advisor, or stopping by during our walk-in hours.

• STEP 3 – Complete the college's Ethics Requirement. You must fulfill the college's ethics requirement before your first semester's registration. Learn more about the Ethics Requirement.

One of the goals of the College of Business and Economics is to promote the development of ethically responsible students who will become future professionals in business, economics and other related fields. As responsible members of the college community, students are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic integrity and overall ethical conduct. To insure that all College of Busines and Economics college students are aware of these standards, the faculty of the college adopted a policy that mandates students fulfill the college Ethics requirement by acknowledging the Student Code of Ethics, become familiar with the policies and practices related to academic dishonesty and plagiarism, and demonstrate competency in these areas by passing the College Ethics Quiz.

If you are meeting with an advisor, you must first complete the Ethics Requirements.
