Academic advising is required prior to each registration. Students are encouraged to contact their advisor at other times throughout the semester for information about university policies, services or professional opportunities. Student Responsibility for Degree Completion Students  should  discuss  their  specific  degree  requirements  with  their  academic  advisors throughout their academic career. While an academic advisor is to be of help to a student in planning and confirming the student’s progress toward graduation, ultimately it is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the requirements for graduation, and to be aware of the num- ber of hours he or she has completed towards graduation. Exceptions to Academic Policies A student  may  request  an  exception  to  an  academic  policy  or  the  degree  requirements. An “Exception to Academic Regulations/Policies” form may be obtained from the Registration and Student Records Office. The request must be completed by the student with recommenda- tions  from  the  academic  advisor  and  the  appropriate  dean.  The  form  is  submitted  to  the Academic Affairs Office for the final decision. Registration Students  should  register  prior  to  the  beginning  of  classes.  Late  registration  or  class  section changes may be permitted: • During the first week of a 15-week course, including arranged classes; • On the first day of class for 5-week, 6-week, 7-week and summer classes; • Up to one week prior to the beginning of a Weekend Intensive course or an Avila Advantage course.
