Academic advising is a key to your success as an undergraduate at IU Bloomington. While you have the primary responsibility for making academic choices and planning your studies, your advisor will help you take full advantage of opportunities at IU. You need to meet with your advisor each semester before registering for courses for the upcoming academic term. Your advisor can also refer you to support services on campus, such as tutoring in academic subjects, personal counseling, and time management assistance. You’re encouraged to keep in touch with your advisor often, in person or by phone or e-mail.
