Academic Advisement

Upon acceptance to Richmont, each student is assigned a faculty advisor. The advisor assists the student in becoming acclimated to the Richmont community, in career planning, and in a variety of other aspects of involvement in the university’s program. Though the advisor guides students through the process of selecting courses, ultimately the student is responsible for following degree requirements and policies as outlined in the Graduate Catalog. Advisors may also provide to their advisees feedback from faculty about the student each semester.

Students in the School of Counseling have a minimum required number of advisement meetings during their time in their program. The School of Counseling also hosts Advisement Week each fall and spring semester to support meetings with faculty advisors in support of student development and student wellness. Please consult the Graduate Catalog for the advisement process and schedule of meetings.
