USI » Academic Advising » Student Responsibilities

Students who have decided on and declared a major are assigned a faculty advisor from the academic college which houses that major. Undecided students, as well as those who are conditionally admitted, are assigned an advisor from University Division. University Division advisors will help students choose a major, usually during the first four semesters. General Studies majors are advised through Extended Services.

As a student at the University of Southern Indiana, you have certain responsibilities with regard to your academic progress.
