Advising

DigiPen has adopted a faculty-advisor model to provide academic and career-related advising for students. Each student is assigned a full-time faculty member as academic advisor. Advisors provide answers to academic questions, approve extra-classes, and perform degree audits and other administrative functions. Students meet with their advisor during new student orientation and are encouraged to meet with their advisors at any time during their education. Advisors are instructed to follow-up with advisees once a semester especially during class registration time. Students are required to seek advisor approval for academic status changes such as changing majors or applying for graduation.
