2.1.1 Primary Academic Advisor
All students will be assigned an academic advisor upon acceptance into the program. The academic advisor is the primary contact for advising, mentorship, and program consultation until the Innovation Project mentor matching has been completed. Once the student has been matched with their Innovation Project Mentor, the Innovation Project faculty mentor will serve as the student’s academic advisor and primary mentor for skill development for the remainder of the program. To support this process, all students must complete their online D2L program orientation prior to their first meeting with their faculty advisor and ideally before beginning coursework.
