Advising. Advising appointments are only scheduled online at: www.lsa.umich.edu/comm/undergrad. Students should use the online appointment system to declare a Communications Studies concentration, discuss progress in the concentration, or to review transfer credit, or to complete Concentration Release Forms. Students seeking approval for domestic transfer credit toward the concentration can meet with any faculty advisor. Students seeking approval for transfer credit from study abroad must meet with the Department faculty foreign credit evaluator. Additionally, the Department's faculty provide regular office hours to discuss current courses or other issues.

Prospective concentrators should schedule an appointment with a concentration advisor any time, but no later than the second term of the sophomore year. Most concentrators continue to see an advisor at least once a year. In any case, students should consult an advisor during the first term of their senior year to ensure that required courses will be completed for graduation.

Special Departmental Policies. An "in-person" concentration advising appointment is required for students to declare a Communication Studies concentration. Students cannot declare by email, phone or fax. Additionally, to ensure the student has met the Department's grade requirements of prerequisites, the official grades of all prerequisite courses must be recorded on the student's transcript before the student can declare the concentration.
