Academic Advising

Excellence in Academic Advising is our goal

In the College of Health Solutions, your success is crucial to our mission. We have a dedicated and professional advising staff available to guide you through your individual academic and career goals. Together with your advisor, you will develop a path to graduation and beyond. Your advisor will be with you every step of the way, from orientation to graduation. They can help you choose classes to meet your degree requirements, manage your schedule, and provide guidance to the many resources ASU has available to support you.

Graduate Student Program of Study (iPOS)
The Plan of Study (iPOS) functions as a contract between the student, the academic unit, and Graduate Education.

• Students must submit their iPOS by the time they have enrolled for 50 percent of the minimum credit hours required for their degree program.
• The iPOS contains degree requirements such as coursework, committee and a culminating experience which must be included before it can be approved.
• An approved iPOS must be on file prior to completing comprehensive exams, thesis/dissertation.
• You should be in consultation with your academic program advisor to determine what coursework is applicable to your degree and is required on the iPOS.
