Advising
One of the benefits of being an honors student is the availability of a dedicated advising staff. Sue Oole, Lee Honors College (LHC) director of academic advising; Jessica Bigley and Michele McLaughlin, LHC academic advisors; and Kira Dow and Jason Atherton, LHC graduate assistants, will see you through the honors program from orientation to graduation. The advising staff will assist you by explaining both university and honors requirements. You will receive an annual honors audit and all of the necessary information for graduating from the Lee Honors College. An added benefit for honors students is priority registration. This allows you to get the courses you want and need to fulfill the requirements of your chosen major.
- To schedule an advising appointment, please call the LHC office at (269) 387-3230 and speak with our front desk staff. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments may be scheduled between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. excluding the lunch hour.
- Sue Oole is the advisor for all LHC graduating seniors and dual enrolled students. Jessica Bigley and the graduate assistants advise all other LHC students. Dr. Andreadis advises on thesis matters and LHC Scholarships.
- When emailing an advisor, be sure to include your WIN, your request, and the reason(s) for your request.
- If you are asking to add and/or drop a course, please include the CRN for each course. If you have already received written permission from the instructor, please include or forward that email. We need that information from you in writing to complete your request.
