The roles of these advisors vary. Academic Advisors are responsible for assistingstudents in planning their academic program with the Pattern of Enrollment. The Pattern ofEnrollment (POE) contains a semester-by-semester layout/list of the coursework (includingelectives) required for the MSSA degree as approved by MSASS faculty. The POE must beprepared with the assistance of the Academic Advisor early in the first semester and submitted toDebra Fields, MSASS Registrar by October 7. A master listing of all Patterns of Enrollment canbe found at http://msass.case.edu/registrar/patterns.html.When possible, Academic Advisors are assigned by concentration/specialization to studentswhen they enter the program; academic and field advisors are listed for each student on his or herStudent Information System (SIS) home page. These assignments are maintained until studentsgraduate or until they secure written approval for an alternate academic advisor. This may berequested, for example, if a student changes concentration. The written request to changeadvisors should be submitted to the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.Academic advisors are responsible for assisting students in planning their academic programs tohelp facilitate academic success, making referrals for other requested campus services, anddiscussing academic issues related to career planning. Academic Advisors are not able tocompute students’ overall grade point average, but this information is available each semester onthe unofficial transcript that students can obtain on the Student Information System (SIS) page.Although the Academic Advisor is available for academic support, the final responsibility forensuring all degree requirements are met rests with the student.The Field Faculty Advisor serves as the liaison for the student, the field placement, andMSASS. The field faculty advisor a)assists the student with securing a field placement that fitswith his/her learning needs; b) participates in the development of the learning contract; c)reviews the field evaluation; and d) assigns the grade for the field education each semester. TheField Faculty Advisor also helps “trouble shoot,” should issues arise during the field educationexperience. Field faculty advisors are assigned by the Director of Field Education based on thestudent’s academic program and area of concentration and specialization.Students must follow their Pattern of Enrollment, maintaining coursework and fieldeducation “on track” or they may be administratively dismissed from taking advancedcourses.http://msass.case.edu/downloads/academic/Student_Handbook.pdf Page 50
