Advising
Get advising early!! It can help you plan your semester and career as a COMS/CINE major.
Advisors in Communication and Media Studies are assigned by the student's last name. Find your advisor below and reach out to set up an appointment. Please meet with your COMS/CINE advisor regularly to discuss program requirements as some requirements may have changed.
Check out our COMS Advising PowerPoint for further information. Another great resource is the Academic Advising and Course Registration-Student Took Kit.
