Every student has a faculty member assigned to them at the beginning of their studies, that ought to guide them through their studies, help them figure out their minors and provide feedback both ways – to the school about the courses and teachers, and to student about their performance. Advisors meet with their students usually twice a semester for either group or individual sessions. This does not limit students to interact with only one faculty member, but their advisor is supposed to be the person of the first contact.
