PSU Advising Pathways – Health, Science & The Earth Pathway (HSE)

Students choosing Public Health Studies or Applied Health and Fitness majors are part of the Health, Science and the Earth Advising Pathway, and will be assigned an advisor from that Pathway.

Required Advising

Connecting with your academic advisor is an essential part of your time at PSU. We recommend meeting with your advisor at least once a year, but at a minimum, you are required to meet with your academic advisor at least once during your first two terms at PSU. This is to ensure that you understand your requirements and are making the right choices to stay on track towards your degree.

First-Year Mandatory Advising

Students maximize the benefits of advising by:

• Contacting their advisor at least once per quarter (electronically or in person).
• Regularly monitoring university email for programmatic or institutional notices and important communication about progression through the program.
• Immediately informing their advisor of changes in registration status or problems that could affect progress to degree.

Students may change advisors if their career interests change. Students are also encouraged to speak with faculty to learn more about areas of study and career opportunities. If you would like to request a different advisor than the one assigned to you, please fill out an Advisor Change Request form.
