Academic Advising

Bachelor of Media Studies students receive academic advising through the B.M.S. Program and through Arts Academic Advising Services.

B.M.S. students are expected to develop a Learning Plan to help guide their program of study; the plan will be modified over the course of their degree progress. Advising staff in the B.M.S. Program are available to assist in the development of Learning Plans. Staff in Arts Academic Advising Services are available to offer advice in the following areas: course and degree planning; administration of Faculty and university regulations; consideration of requests for academic concession and letters of permission. Arts Academic Advising also assists students in connecting with appropriate support resources, both academic and non-academic.
