When a student is fully or conditionally accepted into the graduate
program, the associate dean for student affairs, after consultation
with the graduate program director, assigns a member of the graduate
faculty to serve as the student`s academic adviser. Students are
notified of their advisers` names during new student orientation. An
adviser will be changed if a faculty member leaves the College of
Nursing or if the adviser and/or student indicates that a change would
be beneficial, or if the faculty member`s workload needs to be
readjusted. The change may be initiated by the adviser or student in a
written request to the associate dean, Office for Student Affairs,
and/or the graduate program director. The associate dean for student
affairs, in consultation with the graduate program director, assesses
and coordinates reassignment of the student to another adviser.
