Southern Adventist University is committed to assisting every student in the area of academic advisement. Adult degree completion students are assigned an academic adviser and are recommended to consult with their advisers before registering for classes.
The responsibility of meeting graduation requirements belongs to the individual student. In planning their schedules all students should consult their degree audit in the university’s online Student Planning portal. In addition, students should carefully follow the instructions in the Catalog and the recommendations of their adviser(s). In the event of a discrepancy between an adviser's word and the Catalog, final interpretation of graduation requirements rests with the Records and Advisement Office.
Seniors must file a senior contract in the Records and Advisement Office to graduate. Previous to their senior year students should check periodically with the Records and Advisement office to determine whether they are meeting all curriculum requirements satisfactorily.
