Student Affairs - Advising
The Student Affairs office works collaboratively with LSBE faculty
and coordinates many kinds of advising activities for students within
the School and for non-LSBE students seeking a minor in business
administration or accounting. LSBE Student Affairs staff members
enjoy working with students and are committed to providing them
with accurate, timely and friendly service.
New freshmen and new transfer students are assigned to a staff advisor
from within this office and are re-assigned to work with faculty
in the discipline of their interest when admitted to candidacy or
after completion of the freshman year, whichever is most appropriate.
While not mandated, students are strongly encouraged to meet with
their advisor regularly in order to establish an effective advisor-advisee
relationship. Advising is more than a simple selection of classes.
For example, students may learn about the role of internships or
other opportunities that help prepare them for careers in business,
government or non-profit organizations or for graduate/professional
study. Faculty advisors within the students area of interest are
best prepared to assist them as they seek broader knowledge and
awareness of options available to them.
Student Affairs staff provide advisement for academic and developmental
support, registration issues, degree progress questions, clarification
of requirements, policies and procedures and the candidacy system
within LSBE. We monitor student progress in many different ways,
e.g., progress toward admission to candidacy, academic standing
and graduation. Official notification to students is normally done
on the UMD email account. Petitions for exceptions to requirements,
policies or procedures are also handled in this office, but the
final decision is sent to the listed current mailing address.
Please see the advising philosophy statement for LSBE and the School
perspective on the shared responsibility of the advisee and advisor.

Any LSBE student interested in studying abroad is encouraged to
meet with staff in SBE 21. When well-planned, a study abroad experience
may fit degree requirements at the same time it provides a rich
educational experience. It is important to do this planning in advance
and to take advantage of the advising services provided to LSBE
students while they are abroad. Additionally, as the student record
keepers for LSBE, a study abroad file is important to establish
in the Office. Please see the LSBE Study Abroad Policy statement
and the checklist for studying abroad.
