Advising in CSD

First-year students and those in pre-major status are assigned to a general College of Health and Human Development adviser in the HHD Center for Student Advising and Engagement. These advisers can successfully help you explore the CSD major and plan for your first few semesters.

Students who have already declared Communication Sciences and Disorders as their major are assigned to an academic adviser within the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.

To make an appointment with your assigned academic CSD Adviser, log in to Starfish. From the Home page, click on Success Network to bring up a list of instructors and advisers. Select your adviser and choose an appointment slot from the available times.

Advising offices for Communications Sciences and Disorders are in  308 Ford Building. Please check in at the Starfish Kiosk upon arrival.
