Advising
The Department of Communication Arts recognizes the importance of advising in helping students to make appropriate progress toward graduation. Self-advising, withdrawing, dropping, or failing a course can delay your graduation.
To graduate in a timely manner, you need to meet with your advisor on a regular basis and review any changes in your schedule. You should also keep your own records and come prepared to advising sessions as you are ultimately responsible for your academic progress. https://www.valdosta.edu/advising/coa.php
To ensure the accuracy of your advising and outline what remains in your degree program, you should file for graduation during the second semester of your Junior year.
The following documents are intended to assist you in preparing for advising meetings and in tracking your progress.
