Academic Assistance (MSW)

Students in the Master of Social Work program are required to participate in academic advisement.  Each entering M.S.W. student is initially advised during orientation by the Director of Student & Community Services, who serves as the student’s academic advisor.  The student is expected to meet with the academic advisor at least once a semester for the purpose of course selection, curriculum and program information, and beginning or enhancing acculturation to the field of social work. During the second year of full-time matriculation students will be assigned to a member of the social work faculty. The student is expected to meet with their assigned advisor at least once a semester for the purpose of academic and career planning and development, graduation audit checks, as well as for sequencing course selections in accordance with school procedures. M.S.W. advisement appointments are scheduled only during Fall and Spring semesters, so students are expected to plan accordingly.
