Advisors

Each class has assigned advisors. The role of the advisor is to monitor the progress of Genetics majors towards satisfying the Bachelor degree requirements. The assigned advisor will advise students on a course of study for the duration of the student's undergraduate career.  Declared genetics majors can also access their grades and check whether they are taking the required courses towards their major by using Degree Navigator.

Note: Advisors are assigned by class and the student's last name.
