Faculty advising
All incoming doctoral students are assigned to a graduate faculty member for individual program advising and mentoring. Within the first month of autumn quarter, we recommend that you make an appointment with your faculty adviser to begin to develop your program of study.
Most School of Nursing faculty have nine-month appointments, and may or may not be on campus for advising in summer quarter. Faculty who serve in the capacity of adviser may or may not become a part of your supervisory committee, either as the chair or as a member.
Role of the doctoral faculty adviser
- Serves as the student’s academic program adviser until a chair of the supervisory committee has been selected by the student and appointed;
- Serves as a mentor and engages in discussions with you to help clarify professional goals, university academic experiences, and curriculum plans;
- Discusses potential faculty who may be appropriate for your supervisory committee;
- Works with you to develop your program of study, including referring (as needed) to the policy for petitioning for previous course work equivalency;
- Each quarter, reviews course selections before you register for the coming quarter; and
- Submits a note to your file in Student and Academic Services following each advising session, including the date, description of the conference, comments, and signature.
