STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC ADVISING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Academic Advising: The primary purpose of academic advising at Texas A&M University is to assist students in the development of meaningful educational plans compatible with their personal abilities and goals. Academic Advising Defined: Academic advising engages students beyond their own world view recognizing the “art of possibility.” Student Responsibilities: The ultimate responsibility for making decisions about personal goals and educational plans rests with the individual student. Students are responsible for knowing their degree requirements, relevant rules, policies, and deadlines, and for consulting with their advisors and the degree evaluation system. • • • • • • •

Keep contact information current (local and permanent addresses, phone numbers, and emergency contact information). Read all correspondence from the College and the University then act accordingly. Be open to developing and clarifying personal values and goals. Research department and college programs and courses. Understand the process and requirements for applying for upper-level admittance. Keep records of academic goals and progress. Take notes during advising meetings. Utilize campus resources to enhance your academic experience and develop professional and personal goals. Respect others: Be on time, be prepared, and treat your advisor and other students as you would wish to be treated.

Advisor Responsibilities: Academic Advisors are responsible for upholding the integrity and value of your degree by maintaining the rules, standards, policies, and procedures of Texas A&M University and The College of Architecture. Academic advisors assist by helping to identify and assess alternatives and the consequences of decisions. Academic advising is a continuous process of clarification and evaluation. • • • • • •

Listen carefully and respect the student’s questions, concerns, and problems. Collaborate with the student in development of academic and personal goals and interests. Assist students in making academic decisions consistent with goals, interests and abilities. Provide referrals and resources when appropriate to student needs. Communicate degree requirements. Sometimes it is the Academic Advisor’s job to say “no,” or to present alternatives.

For questions, contact the Tuition Rebate Specialist in the Office of the Registrar, 750 Agronomy Road, Suite 1501, College Station, Texas, 77843, or [email protected], or 979-845-1085.

REGISTRATION Each fall and spring semester, academic advisors in the Office of Student Services offer preregistration advising. Preregistration for Summer and Fall semesters takes place during the Spring. Preregistration for the Spring semester takes place during the Fall. The Office of the Registrar sets individual preregistration start dates and times based on registration status and student classification. Students find their specific preregistration start date and time in the Registration Time Assignment channel on My Record. General registration schedules can be found on the Registrar’s website http://registrar.tamu.edu/Current/RegSchedules.aspx. Students can access the Class Schedule using the Registration channel on My Record from Howdy, https://howdy.tamu.edu/ or from the Registrar’s website, http://registrar.tamu.edu/. Also, students use the Add or Drop Classes link in the Registration channel when registering for courses. Make sure to select the appropriate term and location. Before attempting preregistration, check for registration holds. There are a number of reasons a student may be blocked from registration. If an account has a hold in effect the student will not be allowed to register. Check View Holds in the Registration channel on My Record. If you need help or assistance with registration, contact the Registration Help Desk, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, at 979-845-7117, or [email protected].

WAIT-LIST REGISTRATION PROCEDURES Students unable to register for a course because all seats are full in all sections or departmental restrictions exist may be able to request “wait-list” registration. Students are advised to meet with their academic advisor about registration and schedule options before requesting wait-list consideration. A wait-list does not guarantee enrollment in the course. Each department has its own rules about wait-list registration, and these rules can vary from course-to-course and semester-to-semester. Contact the department offering the course to learn about their specific wait-list rules. For courses offered by the College of Architecture, students can submit a force request at the time of their registration to get on a wait-list, http://www.arch.tamu.edu/academics/force-request/. READ THE WAIT-LIST RULES CAREFULLY. A force request grants the department permission to enroll the student in the requested course if a seat becomes available. Students requesting wait-list registration MUST check their student schedule through the end of the registration period (the fifth class day of a fall or spring semester) to see whether or not the request has been approved. In all cases, it is the student’s responsibility to see that their registration is complete and accurate, and that fees have been paid according to the University’s schedule. Use the Registration channel on My Record from Howdy, https://howdy.tamu.edu/ to view your student schedule. Use the Billing – Tuition & Fees channel on My Finances from Howdy to view your tuition and fee bill, and make payments.

CHECK AND RE-CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE/BILL! Changes to an existing schedule may result in additional tuition/fees. IN ALL CASES, IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO SEE THAT THEIR REGISTRATION IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE AND THAT FEES HAVE BEEN PAID ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE ESTABLISHED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

8


TAKING COURSE WORK ON A SATISFACTORY/UNSATISFACTORY (S/U) BASIS Students must take KINE 199 on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis. All other course work in the degree plan must be taken for a letter grade. Students have until the Q-drop deadline to adjust the grading mode of a class. Students use the Registration channel in My Record to confirm or update the grading mode of KINE 199 any time before the Q-drop deadline. Print a copy of the Detailed Student Schedule to verify grading mode accuracy; it will indicate “Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory” if the grading mode is S/U.

When a student elects to take a course on an S/U basis: 1. A grade of "Satisfactory" (S) will be given for grades of C and above. The hours associated with S grades shall not be included in GPA calculation, semester or cumulative. 2. A grade of "Unsatisfactory" (U) will be given for grades of D and F. The hours associated with U grades shall be included in GPA calculation, both semester and cumulative, and count the same as an F.

SCHOLARSHIPS Scholarships are offered through the College of Architecture, as well as through each department. College scholarship applications are available in the Dean’s Office (LANGA202) and online beginning in October. Department scholarship applications are available in their respective department office and/or online. All scholarships are awarded for the following academic year. http://www.arch.tamu.edu/prospective/scholarships/

SEMESTER AWAY The College of Architecture requires all upper-level undergraduate students to spend one full semester away from the Texas A&M campus, either studying abroad in a TAMU-faculty led program, studying at another university, or working in a professional internship. Each department incorporates this requirement differently into their curriculum. More information is available in the program-specific section of this handbook, from your advisor, and on the department websites. Each student will take a Semester Away seminar to discuss options and prepare for their study away. Only University Studies majors are required to spend their semester away on a TAMU study abroad program, which may be fulfilled during a summer term. The Assistant Dean for International Programs and Initiatives is: Dr. Elton Abbott

TRANSFER OF COURSE CREDIT Note: Students are instructed to have all transfer course credit (including correspondence, dual enrollment and credit-by-exam) posted to their official record at Texas A&M University BEFORE the first class day of the graduating semester. Transfer credit for coursework required for Upper Level must be posted before the first class day Upper Level coursework is to be taken. Transfer of course credit is determined by the Office of Admissions and Records (OAR) on a course-by-course basis. The Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) is an aid for students in the transfer of general academic courses between Texas community colleges and universities. A cross-listing can be found in Appendix B of this handbook or online through the Office of Admissions and Records home page or directly at . Check TCCNS before enrolling in courses at Texas community colleges. Students wishing to take courses at other 4-year institutions or out of state schools can view transfer equivalents from the OAR home page using a Transfer Course Equivalency link https://compass-ssb.tamu.edu/pls/PROD/bwxkwtes.P_TransEquivMain . It is important to note that the evaluation of courses on this site is a guide, and transferability of any given course is not guaranteed until evaluated upon receipt of the transcript. Credit submitted for transfer must be on an official transcript received by the OAR from the registrar of the institution where the credit was earned. Credit for courses that transfer to Texas A&M University by equivalency are shown by A&M course number in the degree evaluation. Other courses transfer by title; degree evaluation will show only the course name from the other institution. In some cases these credits may be substituted for A&M credits through an adjustment request process. Materials from the course taken at another institution are required in the petitioning process. These materials include: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Course syllabus or professor’s course outline. Course description from the catalog of the institution that offered the course. Title and table of contents of the textbook used in the course. Other useful materials from the course, such as workbooks, tests, homework, reports, theme papers, class notes, quizzes, exams, memo from the professor.

Contact the academic advisor associated with the department offering the course you wish to receive credit for. Grade Point Average (GPA): Only grades in coursework, including repeated courses, which the student completes at Texas A&M University will be used in determining the student’s A&M GPA. Transfer credit grades are not calculated into the A&M GPA; students receive transfer credit hours only. Credit may be transferred for work completed with grades of “D” or better if the grade is considered passing at the transfer institution. Only grades of “C” or better will be accepted for Major Coursework requirements. Direct questions to your academic advisor. For additional information, contact the OAR, General Services Complex, 750 Agronomy Road, Suite 1601 in College Station, Texas, or by phone at 979-845-1060.

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY EMAIL E-mail is an official means of communication at Texas A&M University. Texas A&M University Email (TAMU Email) is the University’s official e-mail for students, staff and faculty. Upon admission to Texas A&M University students are assigned an active student e-mail account. The College of Architecture uses TAMU Email to keep students informed about things like scholarship/internship/study abroad opportunities, registration changes and important reminders. Other offices such as Registration, Scholarships & Financial Aid and Student Business Services send important notices to the student’s TAMU Email account. It is every student’s responsibility to check their TAMU Email account for University-related communications on a frequent and consistent basis. TAMU Email provides students with a professional email address that can be used for correspondence with student organizations, prospective employers, and others. Always use your TAMU Email account when e-mailing your academic advisor, instructor, or other university official. This protects your identity and privacy. Students may elect to automatically forward messages sent to their Texas A&M University student e-mail address. However, e-mail messages that are essential to the student's education or that contain private personal information may be designated as Do Not Forward (DNF) and will not be redirected to another address. A courtesy notification message will be forwarded whenever a DNF e-mail is delivered to a TAMU Email account where the student has elected to automatically forward their messages. However, TAMU cannot guarantee the delivery of these courtesy notification messages. The University is not responsible for e-mail once it is forwarded out of a student's TAMU Email account. Remember and protect your NetID and Password. TAMU/Computing Help Desk: [email protected] or call 979-845-8300

WHEN EMAILING THE UNIVERSITY, ALWAYS USE YOUR TAMU EMAIL ACCOUNT AND REMEMBER TO INCLUDE YOUR TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY UIN.

GETTING INVOLVED Texas A&M's Six Core Values: Excellence • Integrity • Leadership • Loyalty • Respect • Selfless Service The College of Architecture wants to encourage each of our students to commit themselves, while at TAMU and after graduation, to pursuing TAMU's six Core Values. Our students have numerous opportunities for leadership beginning with the student organizations in the College of Architecture as well as the 800+ student organizations on campus. Participating in student organizations gives you an opportunity to network, meet new people who have similar interests and career goals, explore career opportunities, learn and practice leadership skills, and boost your resume. Being involved in student organizations gives students the opportunity to make an impact, and leave their mark on the College of Architecture, Texas A&M University, as well as the surrounding community. Former US President George Bush has been quoted as saying, “A&M encourages volunteerism, encourages being one of a thousand points of light, helping others...and it comes naturally to Aggies.” Selfless Service can be obtained while attending TAMU, not only through participation in the Big Event and other campus service projects, but also through numerous volunteer experiences in the Brazos Valley. Volunteer opportunities in the Brazos Valley are diverse and multifaceted. Refer to the following websites to find the organization that fits your interests and abilities. Organizations within the College Of Architecture: http://www.arch.tamu.edu/community/student-organizations/ Campus-wide Organizations: http://studentactivities.tamu.edu/online/search/index Opportunities within the Community: Volunteer Brazos Valley - Promotes volunteerism as a means of fostering increased citizen involvement in Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson and Washington counties, enriching the communities and the lives of its residents through volunteerism.
