Advising
Students in the fitness and wellness leadership major receive advising support and guidance throughout their academic journey.
First-Year Experience Advisers
All first-year freshmen at Towson University are assigned to a First-Year Experience (FYE) adviser. This adviser will guide you through your first academic year. More information can be found at Academic Advising, Retention & Completion.
Faculty Advisers
Sophomores and transfer students in the fitness and wellness leadership major are assigned to a faculty adviser in the Department of Kinesiology in their area of study. This faculty member serves as your academic adviser for the remainder of your time in our programs. The academic adviser will also help you complete and file a Degree Completion Plan by the end of your sophomore year or first year after transferring in. More information about transfer student advising can be found at Academic Advising, Retention & Completion. Transfer planning resources for prospective students are available at the Transfer Admissions.
Mandatory Advising Holds
Prior to each fall and spring registration period, a Mandatory Advising Hold is placed on every continuing undergraduate student’s account. The Department of Kinesiology holds advising periods in March and October. Students receive notification of available advising dates via email and class announcements. It is the student’s responsibility to seek an appointment during this time to receive registration guidance and to have the Mandatory Advising Hold removed.
Advising Materials
All advising materials are meant as supplemental guides. Students should refer to their Academic Requirements Report for official requirements and completion status.
