Advantages of academic advising
Making use of academic advising will help you make informed
decisions, feel confident about your plans, make the most
of your education, and complete your degree as efficiently
as possible. The Online Advising Center provides you with
a lot of the information you need to succeed in your program,
as well as the personal assistance you need to sort out
the information and what it means to you.
The Online Advising Center makes information, tools, and
tips for your academic planning available online, when you
need them. Sometimes, however, you may prefer to have individual
contact with a professional advisor to sort out your situation
and questions. Trained professional advisors who are thoroughly
familiar with the online business programs are available
through email or by phone to answer your questions and address
your individual situation.
How to work with your advisor
An effective advising relationship is a partnership between
you and your advisor. Both advisors and students have responsibilities
in this relationship. For more on what you can expect from
your advisor, and what your advisor will expect from you,
review how to work with your advisor.
Advising at Metropolitan State University and partner institutions
The Business Online degree is a partnership between Metropolitan
State and partner institutions. Advisors at each college
are specially trained to work with online degree students.
In general, if you are working on the A.S. through a partner
institution, you should contact a partner institution advisor.
If you are working on the B.S. from Metropolitan State,
contact a Metropolitan State University advisor, even if
you are taking courses at the other partner institution.
Advisors will assist you with course planning, evaluation
of transfer coursework, and will eventually review your
coursework and determine when you are ready to graduate.
Although advisors work with a large number of students,
advisors will do their best to respond to your questions
within two business days.
Please note that advisors are especially busy right before
and during the registration period. For the quickest response
from an advisor, contact your advisor early in the semester--don’t
wait until registration begins. Before contacting an advisor,
read the academic advising section of the Business Online
Web site. For more information about advising at each college,
