Full Time Students
Each incoming student will be assigned an academic advisor that will help with curriculum decisions. When assigning students to advisors we consider their work experience and declared area of interest; we try to fit each student with an appropriate advisor.
You will find out who your advisor is during orientation. Each student will have an individual meeting scheduled with their advisor during orientation week, prior to the start of their first semester.
After your initial meeting with your assigned advisor, you may decide another advisor would be a better fit for your academic and professional goals. After this initial meeting, students are able to request a change of their academic advisor by completing a "Change of Advisor Form", which is available once you have matriculated.
Part-time and Distance Students
Each incoming student will be assigned an advisor who will help with curriculum decisions and offer valuable information on course selection and registration. After you have accepted our offer of admission, please contact the appropriate coordinator for your program to schedule an advising appointment:
- MPM or HRMC program: Diana Pawlowski (+1.412.268.2194, diana@andrew.cmu.edu )
- MSIT program: Roberta Serbin (+1.412.268.4840, rserbin@andrew.cmu.edu )
Please plan to have this advising meeting or phone conference at least one week before the first day of class. Distance MSIT students should schedule this meeting at least 2-3 weeks prior to the start of classes to allow time for shipping of course materials.
