Students and faculty workvery closely together in the academic arena. This kind of educational interaction permitsstudents to get to know their teachers and vice-versa. Students should feel free tocontact their faculty advisor as frequently as necessary for advice, encouragement andsupport. At a minimum, the faculty advisor is an advocate who takes a personal interestin his/her assigned students. Faculty advisors do assume a pro-active role, however,and become involved with their students when performance levels fail to meetminimum academic and professional standards.The protocol for the advising program is as follows:2011 – 2012 COM Student Handbook
Students are assigned faculty advisors at orientation.Advisors meet with first and second year students twice minimum, usually afterblock II exams, once in the fall and once in the spring.The student will fill out an advising form located on the Advising andProfessionalism page on the TU website and bring it to their meeting, along witha printout of their latest grade report. This will be an opportunity for discussionof any concerns by either party. At the end of the second year, the advisor willprovide a summary statement of his/her observations concerning the student‟sprogress and development through the first two years of the program.Completed advising forms are submitted to the office of the Associate Dean forPreclinical Education, who will monitor the advising program, noting if advisorsare meeting with students and completing the advising forms.Students may change their advisor once.
