All CS students are required to meet with their respective Advisors. There are three types of students for advisement and registration (Freshman, Transfer, and Continuing Students). Consequently, there are various types of advisors (for new students, for continuing students, and for general advisement).
Every new Computer Science student, either
freshmen or transfer, will report to an advisor at the beginning of their
academic career at SPSU. Continuing Students should seek periodic advisement
from their respective advisor and stay up to date on current changes.
In summary, advisement is broken down as
follows:
Freshman Advisement
All entering
Freshman are required to seek advisement from their designated Entering Student
Advisors or from the Student Support Services Office at Orientation and
throughout their first two semesters at SPSU. After a freshman student has been
placed in the appropriate mathematics course via testing (at orientation) the
student can be advised as to a schedule to begin their academic career at SPSU.
All Freshman Students must be advised by Entering Student Advisors or by the
Student Support Services office (Undergraduate Coordinator or Academic Advisor)
located in J393. An initial Plan of Study will be developed.
Transfer Student Advisement
In order to be
correctly advised all entering Transfer Students should come to Orientation with
all of their transfer credits evaluated. Transfer Students are required to seek
advisement before their registration process begins. They can seek advisement
from Entering Student Advisors or from the Student Support Services office
(Undergraduate Coordinator or Academic Advisor) located in J393. Entering
Student Advisors or the Student Support Services office (Undergraduate
Coordinator or Academic Advisor) must advise all entering Transfer Students. An
initial Plan of Study will be developed.

Continuing Students, who are on Academic Probation, will have a hold put on their registration until an advisor advises them.
