Two offices are responsible for providing advisement to Zicklin
graduate students. The Office of Graduate Academic Services in
the ZSB provides administrative and curricular services to students
enrolled in the flex-time MBA programs (excluding the Accelerated
Part-Time MBA Program) and MS degree programs. The Office evaluates
preliminary course requirements for entering students, coordinates
requests for transfer credit and core course substitutions, informs
students of curriculum changes, and assists students who wish to
change their MBA specializations or their degree objectives. During
registration, the office works with students, academic departments,
and the Registrar’s Office to resolve registration problems,
and handles waiting list requests for closed courses.

Students are responsible for understanding and meeting the requirements
for the degree program in which they are enrolled and are encouraged
to seek advice as needed. Advising is largely an informal process.
Staff and student “peer” advisors are available throughout
the calendar year to meet with students on a walk-in basis or by
appointment. (During registration, advising is on a walk-in basis
only.) Although students are not assigned faculty advisors, designated
faculty members from each department are available throughout the
academic year to advise students on an individual basis.

Students who have unresolved issues relating to the academic and
scholastic requirements of their programs may need to appeal to
the Graduate Committee on Academic Standing. The Office of Graduate
Academic Services advises students about their appeals and coordinates
the appeals process.

Similar services are provided to students in the Full-Time Honors
MBA Program and the Accelerated Part-Time MBA Program. Advisement
for students in these programs is handled by staff in the Full-Time
Honors MBA Office. Applications and assignments for Zicklin masters
level graduate assistantships are also processed in the Full-Time
Honors MBA Office.
