Academic advising is a vital part of the learning process at Malo ne University. One of the most important persons in a student’s academic experience is the adviser. Academic advising is most effective when all participants commit to the process, do their respective parts, and reflect on the implications and benefits of the results. Students should work closely with their academic advisers.#N#The Center for Student Success will assign advisers to first-year students who select majors during their first semester or first year at Malone. These assignments will be made in accordance with students’ academic interests and goals. A request for a change of adviser is permissible provided that the adviser is a faculty person in the student’s major field and the request is processed through the Center for Student Success. A student who has not declared a major will continue to be advised through the Center for Student Success, but may at any time request an assignment to a faculty adviser. See below for additional information.
