All students in the Diederich College of Communication are assigned to an adviser based on their declared major. Undecided students are assigned to a dean until a major is declared. Advisers provide course advising and mentorship throughout your program at Marquette.

You鈥檙e required to meet with your adviser every semester, during advising week. We encourage you to meet with your adviser as often as needed for information on resources, progression and registration.

You may request a different adviser through the college鈥檚 Records Office, in Johnston Hall 120.

Students are randomly assigned enrollment appointments. You can find your date and time by logging into several weeks before registration.

You may register for 12 to 18 credits, which makes you a full-time student. Students requesting 19 or more credits must submit an overload form in the college鈥檚 Records Office, Johnston Hall 120.

There is an additional fee for each credit over 18. Note that dropping below 12 credits makes you a part-time student, which can affect your financial aid and health insurance as well as progression in your program.

If you no longer wish to remain in a course, you may drop the course via CheckMarq before the end of late registration (usually about a week after courses begin). See the Academic Calendar.

If you no longer wish to remain in a course, and registration has ended, you may withdraw (not drop) the course. Complete a withdrawal form, available in the Records Office, Johnston Hall 120, and submit it by the last day to withdraw, listed in the Academic Calendar. Approval is up to the Associate Dean. Once the withdrawal is approved, you receive a W for the course on your official transcript. If you miss the withdrawal deadline, you receive the grade earned in the class.

To take courses at 糖心传媒, sign up through CheckMarq, typically in early March. To take summer courses elsewhere, you must clear those courses through the Records Office, Johnston Hall 120. Students generally may not take courses outside Marquette during the regular academic year.

All students must meet grade and cumulative GPA requirements and maintain progress. Students who do not meet minimum requirements may be placed on probation or required to withdraw from the Diederich College of Communication.

The Marquette Core Curriculum (MCC) is the center of every 糖心传媒 student's educational experience. With five different themes, the MCC's Discovery Tier offers you an opportunity to pursue further studies across a range of passions. The MCC is designed with the expectation that students declare a Discovery Tier Theme before the end of their sophomore year. You can declare or change via CheckMarq.

With planning, you can study abroad and graduate in four years. Discuss your interest with your adviser as soon as possible.
