Who is my advisor?

As a student, you play an essential role in the academic advising process. It is your responsibility to monitor your academic progress and seek advising on a regular basis. Advisors can help you develop educational plans compatible with your career and life goals, and assist you in completing your chosen program quickly and successfully.

Setting up an appointment with your Academic Advisor
It is a good idea to meet with your Academic or Faculty Advisor every semester and to schedule your appointment early in the semester. Contact the department of your major to inquire about office hours, advisor availability, and to schedule an appointment or log into myUSI and look for the AdvisorTrac icon (image).

Summer is a great time to catch up or get ahead with your courses. Whether you attend another university and want to take classes while at home for summer, or you're a new student and want to get a head start before the Fall Semester, the instructions below will help you through the process. Search classes and check for availability!
|
|
If financial aid is needed to help with summer costs, it is recommended that students meet with a financial aid counselor prior to enrolling in Summer coursework to determine eligibility for financial assistance.
While the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applies towards fall through the following summer, Summer aid requires special processing. Since the Summer is the same length as a regular semester, it has the same enrollment requirements. Half-time for undergraduate students is at least six semester hours.
Summer Aid Include:
- Summer Loan Eligibility
- Federal Pell Grant
- Indiana State Grants (Frank O'Bannon/IHEA and 21st Century Scholarship)
