Students are urged to consult a college academic adviser when they plan their academic program. The dean's office can provide general advising on the school's admission policy.  Department chairs, members of the school's faculty, and student services staff can provide specific advising concerning the planning and development of a student's academic program for SCILS majors. During the academic year, the Department of Communication also has peer advisers available to assist students. The student must assume full responsibility for satisfying the academic requirements of SCILS.
