College of Architecture Advising Overview

Advising Goals:

- Provide students with academic guidance as they fulfill their degree program requirements

- Be available for individual meetings, as needed, when students seek advice

- Assist students with administrative matters (registration, minors, specializations, course repeat, course substitution eForms or petitions, etc)

- Familiarize students with DegreeWorks, IIT policy (Bulletin), CoA requirements, and general academic policies, enabling students to take responsibility for the successful completion of their academic careers.

GRADUATE ADVISING

All degree seeking graduate students will be assigned a primary academic advisor by the College of Architecture. Effective Fall 2018 semester, most NEW Graduate students will be required to meet with their primary advisor prior to registering for following semester.The GP Graduate (Program) Advising Hold becomes active before the next semester of registration opens for the following:

--Co-Terminal students in the first semester of graduate co-terminal enrollment
--Traditional masters students at 9 earned or enrolled credits
--Doctoral students at 18 earned or enrolled credits

The GP Hold prevents registration before the following semester until lifted by the advisor. The mandatory advising session is required for the student to clear the advising registration hold.

Students will be notified by their primary advisor how to best schedule their required advising appointment. In general, students may begin scheduling their advising appointments two weeks prior to the first day of registration for the following semester.

At this advising appointment, students will receive a Registration PIN (also referred to as an alternate PIN) and the registration block, which is placed on a student’s record by the Graduate College, will be removed. This will be the only REQUIRED advising appointment for Graduate students. After their first semester, Graduate student Registration PINs will be visible in the myIIT portal page (under IIT Personal ID numbers).

All graduate students registering for RESEARCH COURSES numbered 591, 594, 597, and 691 must receive approval from their faculty advisor, in the form of an electronic permit, before registration.
