Registrar's Office
Registration Information
At the University of St. Francis, the concept of academic advising assumes an ongoing dialog between advisor and student, not simply the occasional preparation of the student's schedule for the upcoming semester. An academic advisor is available to every student who is seeking a degree. Although it is the student's responsibility to know the requirements for graduation and the courses required in the major program, the academic advisor is available for assistance and for approval of each semester's schedule to assure that all requirements are being met.
Students who have not yet chosen a major register as "undeclared" majors. The academic advisor for undeclared majors is experienced in advising those who need special assistance in choosing the most appropriate major.

Graduate
Student Advising
In their initial contact with the University of
St. Francis, graduate faculty or administrators
advise graduate students. Once students are enrolled
in the graduate program, they are advised either
in person, by telephone or by the faculty or administrators
who visit classes each semester. Students requesting
assistance with academic matters are always encouraged
to call the College of Graduate Studies at (800)
726-2600. Graduate nursing students should call
the College of Nursing at (815) 741-7123. Students
in the College of Education should call (815)
740-3376.
Health
Arts Student Advising
Students are advised by phone or in person by
a Health Arts administrator. Students wishing
to make an advising appointment on campus with
an administrator may do so by calling (800) 726-2600.
Students wishing to schedule an appointment at
an off-campus location may do so at the time of
an administrative visit to classes in that area.
Nursing
(Fast Track) Student Advising
Nursing students enrolled in the Fast Track Program
are encouraged to call the College of Nursing
at (815) 741-7123 for advising assistance.
General Student Advising
Students enrolled in academic programs outside
of the College of Health Arts, Graduate and Professional
Studies are generally assigned an academic advisor
from their particular program. This advisor is
usually a faculty member in their major academic
area of study. Students may make an appointment
to speak with the advisor or contact the advisor
by phone as necessary. The advisor is there to
assist the student in selecting courses, registering
for classes and providing them with career counseling
related to the major.
Adult and evening students need to give careful attention to their advisor's office hours, and should note the relationship of those office hours with the time that the student usually is on campus. Students should try to make advising appointments for the purposes of registration as far ahead of time as possible. Most advisors post sign-up sheets on their office doors for students to schedule advising appointments. If you are unable to contact your advisor for an appointment, please contact the Registrar for assistance. Phone (815) 740-3391.
