Academic Advisement
The Academic Advisement Department, located at both the Doheny and Chalon campuses, provides multiple services in order to best serve our students’ academic needs and to effectively guide our students towards graduation. These services include advising students from many of the traditional undergraduate programs and the Pre-A.D.N. program, mandatory Pre-Nursing workshops, major and minor exploration workshops, general education/LACE support, mandatory appointments, forms processing, transfer credit evaluations and more. We provide these services in order to effectively assist students on their academic journey. Academic Advisement is dedicated to empowering and educating the whole student in order to provide a unique and well-rounded experience at MSMU.
After newly admitted students give their tuition deposit to the Mount, they meet with an academic advisor during Advisement & Registration Days to discuss their academic program, policies and procedures, and their first semester courses. At that point they will be able to register into courses.
Once a student matriculates into MSMU, a permanent academic advisor is assigned at the start of their first semester. The advisor is the academic point person who assists in clarifying LACE, general education, major and minor requirements, university policies and procedures and is the connecting resource to other services on campus. Each student is mandated to meet with their academic advisor at least once a semester during Advisement Period to monitor academic progress, review courses for the following semester, and to remove the advisor hold on their account. Students will be able to register into courses for the following semester once their advisor hold has been removed and registration period has started. Although the Academic Advisement staff and faculty advisors make every effort to provide effective advisement and guidance for the student, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to ensure that all procedures are followed and requirements fulfilled.
