Advising

See your assigned adviser each fall and spring semester at least three weeks before the course registration period begins. To be assigned an adviser you must officially declare the major in 412 Phifer. Once you have an advisor assigned to you, you must complete the following steps before making an appointment with him or her:

  • Carefully read the requirements for the major, minor, Core, special requirement, and second major/minor that are listed on this Web site.
  • Attend a group advising session. The times/dates of these sessions will be posted outside the APR office and around Reese Phifer Hall three weeks prior to class registration. You will be advised at the session and your advising hold will be lifted so you may register when your registration time slot opens. Thus you do not need to make an appointment with your adviser, unless you have additional questions.
  • For advising after the semester in which you officially declare the major, make an appointment with your adviser at least three weeks prior to class registration. Advisers will post available advising appointment times outside their office doors.
  • Be prepared for your advising appointment. Have your courses chosen for the upcoming semester, and prepare a list of any questions you might have.
  • You will be able to register for courses once your registration time slot opens. Students who are on academic warning or suspension must see Mrs. Daria (305 Phifer) or Mrs. Sims (418-D Phifer) to have their advising holds lifted.

Career planning

Internships

We recommend that all advertising and PR majors complete at least one internship before graduation, usually in the junior year. However, you may choose to complete internships during your sophomore, junior and senior years.

Declaring the major

During your first semester after orientation, you should officially declare the advertising or PR major by going to 412 Reese Phifer to complete a major form. Once your major form has been completed, you will be assigned an APR adviser and entered into the College’s checksheet system, which will help you and your adviser plan your coursework.
