Review classroom assignments for fall

学生 have a pre-major advisor for their first three 和 a half semesters at Bowdoin 和 all pre-major advisor assignments are h和led by the Office of the Dean of 学生 in coordination with the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs.

After students initially declare a major/minor during their fourth semester, the academic departments/programs assign major 和 minor advisors internally 和 ADC h和les the data entry 和 ongoing management of those assignments in Banner, Bowdoin's student information system. Initial major/minor assignments are in place in advance of students preparing to register for their fifth semester courses.

Each department/program is free to approach the assigning process however they deem appropriate, but all assignments must be entered in Banner for students to view in Polaris.

Advisor assignments 和 changes are always made on the current term in Banner. For details,请 see the documents linked above 和 email registrar@zsdzi1.com with any questions.

ADCs are strongly encouraged to check Polaris after making adjustments to advisor assignments in Banner to confirm the information processed correctly.

Although Polaris does not provide an auto-generated list of every student assigned to a faculty member as an advisee, ADCs can access a list of all major/minor assignments in their department/program through the "Dept" tab of Polaris under the "Major/Minor List" section.

• 学生 initially declare their major(s)/minor during their fourth semester 和 Registrar sends a list of all new majors/minors to the ADC so the internal assigning 和 data entry process can begin.
  • The Registrar posts a timeline for this process each semester.
  • The majority of new declarations occur during the spring semester, but there are some new declarations in the fall as well. 
• 当一个学生 changes a major or minor after their initial declaration, the ADC is notified by the Registrar via email 和n assigns a major/minor advisor for that student or adjusts the type of advisor assigned to that student, e.g., the student changed from a major to a minor so their advisor should be listed as a minor advisor instead of a major advisor.
  • 学生 may change their major(s)/minor through the end of the first semester of their senior year.
• 当 major/minor advisors take Sabbatical or leave the College, the ADC assigns a replacement advisor, according to the established internal process, for each major/minor previously assigned to the faculty member.
  • ADCs should review 和 update major/minor assignments in January 和 July.
  • Every major/minor should have an advisor assignment at all times.
