Academic Advising
Graduate Students
The program initially assigns two advisors, so that if one happens to be away, you can reach the other. (Whenever you need an advisor’s signature, you can have either one sign—you don’t need both.) We try to match students and faculty based on areas of interest, but you are certainly welcome to change your advisor anytime throughout your time at Michigan. You will also find that students tend to use many of the faculty as informal advisors. Second-year students are also great resources of knowledge about courses, etc.
