Understanding advising transition process, criteria and milestones
The process of the advising "transition" refers to a formal shift in who advises students that are just starting on their academic journey from their second year of enrollment through graduation. Students transition from being advised by First Year Advising to being advised by advisors in the college that houses their major:
- College of Arts and Sciences
- Lutgert College of Business
- College of Education
- Marieb College of Health & Human Services
- U.A. Whitaker College of Engineering
College Advising Transition Criteria 2017-2018
ALL of the criteria listed MUST be met before you are eligible to transition to college advising. Eligibility is assessed at the conclusion of each semester. Transition information is forwarded via Eagle Email when you are eligible. Please note that the failure to meet milestones in a timely manner may render you ineligible to continue in a particular major. In these cases, you will work with UGS Advising to identify an alternate major to complete at FGCU.
