Advising
All journalism students are advised in the Fulbright College Advising Center and should see their academic adviser every semester to be advised on the courses
to take every semester before they register. You will see your adviser at least once
a semester during preregistration academic advising, which is typically done during
the weeks before formal registration begins. You will need to make an appointment
with your Fulbright College adviser for preregistration academic advising each semester
to select the courses you’ll take the following semester. You must register during
your registration appointment time every semester or you are unlikely to obtain enrollment
in your preferred classes.
For questions regarding academic advising, contact the Fulbright College Advising Center at 479-575-3307, fcac@uark.edu, or online at fulbright.uark.edu/advising-center.
It pays to plan ahead. Some Journalism courses are offered irregularly, some courses
are prerequisites for others and must be taken in sequence, and other courses fill
up quickly when they are offered. Therefore, in order to avoid any delay in your graduation,
you should be thoroughly knowledgeable in the requirements for your degree. Students
should consult their advisers on a regular basis, not limited to registration matters
but including all areas of their academic careers. You should be proactive and consult
with your Fulbright College adviser regularly, especially when you are in doubt.
