NSU 2014-2015 Undergraduate Catalog

56 Nova Southeastern University • Undergraduate Student Catalog • 2014–2015 ACADEMIC RESOURCES AND PROCEDURES Academic Advising Academic advisors provide students with confidential academic, social, and developmental advising to ensure they receive the individual attention they need to succeed. It is strongly recommended that all undergraduate students entering a program, changing majors or specializations/concentrations, requesting transfer of credits, or attempting to meet specific renewal or certification requirements contact an academic advisor before registering for classes. Academic advisors additionally serve as liaisons and referral agents by helping students gain needed assistance from other NSU divisions or from the community. Students should maintain regular contact with their academic advisors throughout their academic career at NSU. Students are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor if they believe their rights as students are being, or have been, violated. Students are also encouraged to discuss aspects of their education with faculty members, program administrators, and directors. All students must complete the Student Enrollment Agreement (SEA) each term, prior to course registration. Students may view a copy of the SEA at www.nova.edu/registrar/forms/catch-the-sea-wave.pdf and may complete the form in NSU Sharklink, the university’s online information portal.
