Academic Advising

Academic advising is viewed as an integral part of the educational process. Every student at Marietta College will have an academic advisor. Advising is the process by which the student is directed to significant knowledge of self and of the College and its resources and requirements.

Student’s Responsibility

The student is responsible for making a sincere effort of understanding the requirements, policies, and procedures governing the academic program being followed and for seeking out the academic advisor for guidance when appropriate. The student is also responsible for notifying the Records Office by submitting appropriate forms, concerning the addition or removal of a major, minor, or certificate from the program of study as well as any classes added, dropped, or changed on their course schedule. The College strongly encourages students to review any questions or confusion concerning their curriculum requirements with the Records Office. In cases where there is a disagreement of interpretation of part of the curriculum requirements, Graduate Council will be the final arbiter.
