The faculty advising system provides an opportunity for students to establish relationships with members of the faculty with whom they should consult to consider educational and personal issues that impact on the educational process. A Faculty Advisor may serve as a mediator in situations where the student finds himself/herself in conflict with faculty or administration. Faculty are available to advise students concerning course selection, concentration, specialization, problems in the class or field and School policies and procedures. Faculty members maintain office hours for advising students. In cases where a faculty member is not available, the Associate Dean for the MSW Program or Assistant Dean for Student Affairs can assist the student. It is the student's responsibility to insure that the correct courses have been completed to achieve progression into the advanced year and graduation. School advisement is to be distinguished from the Field Liaison function. The Field Liaison monitors the student's field work performance and evaluates that performance at the conclusion of each unit of field work.
