3404.1 Policy Statement

The requirement for advisor approval will appear in a student’s registration notice section of the university’s registration portal. The following categories of students must obtain an advisor's approval before registering whether online or in person: 

Undergraduate 

  • Students on academic probation; 
  • Students on directed advising due to having had admissions-related deficiencies; 
  • Students in a dual-enrollment program, currently referred to as College Credit Plus;

Undergraduate and Graduate 

  • Students who are in the undergraduate/graduate overlapping component of a Combined Program; and 
  • Students in any undergraduate or graduate program, preprogram or major that has a standing requirement for advisor preapproval for some or all of its students. 

Any college, major or program may request that their students obtain advisor pre-approval (or may request removal from the list of programs requiring pre-approval) through the curricular approval process. Any new recommendation for such pre-approval must be reviewed and approved by a department or program (if applicable), a college curriculum committee, the dean or dean's designee of the college, the Faculty Senate Undergraduate or Graduate Curriculum Committee, and the Provost; in the case of graduate student registration, the College of Graduate Programs and Honors Studies must approve.
