Newly Admitted Students
Newly admitted College of Business and Management undergraduate students are assigned to work with a professional academic advisor before they declare their major. Professional academic advisors are full-time advisors in the College of Business and Management.
Completing the online New Student Orientation (required) and the College of Business and Management’s online orientation course, College of Business and Management (CBM) 101, will help you understand the requirements, resources and strategies needed to complete your College of Business and Management degree successfully.
Assigning an Academic Advisor and Major Declaration
As a new student to Metropolitan State or transferring to CBM from within the university, you will be assigned an academic advisor in CBM. Once your academic advisor has been assigned, you will receive a welcome letter, via email, indicating who your academic advisor is, their contact information, and important steps to take as a new student to CBM.
As a new CBM student, your major is Pre-business. You will be eligible to officially declare your major after completing the Major & Academic Program Planning (MAPP) workshop in D2L. The MAPP workshop will provide you an opportunity to explore and connect your career goals with your major and co-create a degree plan with your academic advisor. You will be enrolled in the MAPP workshop during your first semester.
After you officially declare your major, you will also be assigned a faculty advisor in addition to your academic advisor. Your academic advisor and faculty advisor will work together to support you through the remainder of your degree program.
You should contact your academic advisor when:
- you need a registration override or have a registration system question,
- you have questions about your academic standing,
- you need to connect to other campus resources, and
- you make changes to your degree plan, if necessary.
You should contact your faculty advisor when:
- you have questions about curriculum context and major course planning,
- you want to discuss course-taking strategies, especially within your major program,
- you have questions about working through instructor or course concerns, and
- you have questions about your career pathway or internship opportunities.
Your faculty advisor will also partner with your academic advisor to support you through any conflicts or concerns during your program, adjust your degree plan if necessary, and connect you with career resources.
