Academic Advising

Advising Centre for the Faculties of Humanities, Science & Social Sciences

http://www.uvic.ca/adva

Academic advice is available at the Advising Centre, Room A203, University Centre. Students seeking information or advice regarding programs, courses or university and faculty regulations should consult the Academic Advising Centre 250-721-7567 or advising@uvic.ca.

It is recommended that all students discuss their proposed programs with an academic adviser and/or with departmental advisers well in advance of registration. Students who may wish to transfer to another university to complete their degree are advised also to consult the university of their choice regarding required courses and transfer equivalencies.

All students continuing in the Faculties of Humanities, Science and Social Sciences must declare a program by filing a Record of Degree Program (RDP) with the Academic Advising Centre prior to graduation. If a degree program has been chosen and program entry requirements satisfied, students may file an RDP once they have attained second-year standing (credit for at least 12 units of course work) and should do so once they have attained third-year standing (credit for at least 27 units of course work). The purpose of this RDP is to ensure that proposed courses will meet the requirements of the selected program. Any subsequent change to a declared program also must be filed with the Academic Advising Centre.

Students who have not satisfied the University English Requirement must do so before they declare their program.
