First-Year Students:
Two Advisors
Summer Advisor – a staff/faculty member assigned to connect with students over the summer, prior to their first semester at Gettysburg, to help plan their fall course schedule.
- This partnership typically ends after the student registers for their fall semester classes.
- This person may or may not end up being your Faculty Advisor.
Faculty Advisor – a faculty member who is assigned to new students beginning in August, and continues to serve as the Faculty Advisor until a student declares a major.
- The guiding principle for a Faculty Advisor assignment is regular, frequent interaction in one of the four courses a student takes in the first semester or a faculty member from the discipline of interest.
- Students will have an opportunity to send their Faculty Advisor information about themselves, their interests, goals, concerns, etc. later in the summer after assignments have been made.
Sophomores:
Sophomores may continue their advising relationship with their first-year advisors, or they may select another faculty member in a field they’re considering as a major. Once an academic major is chosen (which must be no later than second semester sophomore year), a member of the student’s major department becomes the student’s advisor.
