The Associate Dean and staff in the Dean's office offer complete academic advising services for students working on a major administered by the College of Biological Sciences. We advise on college and university requirements, policies, and procedures, including PELP, withdrawal, readmission, change of major or college, multiple majors and late actions. We evaluate transfer work, discuss petitions for variance and provide degree checks for graduation purposes.

The office is also responsible for the academic progress of all students majoring in the college. If you have any problems (personal, medical, financial) that are affecting your academic performance, or if you are on academic probation, we invite you to make an appointment to see one of the advisers in the Dean's office.

Advising for the Major. Students who declare or intend to declare majors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Cell Biology; Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity; Exercise Biology; Genetics; Microbiology; Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior; or Plant Biology should contact the specific section office for academic advising services, where both faculty and staff advisers are available.
Students who declare or intend to declare a major in Biological Sciences or students who are in the Undeclared-Life Sciences program should consult with the staff in the Dean's office for program planning and major requirements.

Peer Advisers. Peer advisers are available in each section office. Biological Sciences houses its peer advisers in the Dean's Office.
