Academic Counseling
Our Commitment to You:
We will treat you as an adult. We will keep your life and work confidential; we will let you know in advance anything we communicate with your parents. We will put all our efforts and our heart into helping you. We are here for you.
Your Commitment to Us:
You will treat us as friends and as professionals. You will stay in communication with your parents about your classes, your grades, your social life, your health, and your participation in LEP.
Mutual Respect
If you are going to miss a meeting, please call or email in advance so that your counselor can plan for that time and possibly allow another student to come in.
If you miss three meetings in a row, you have forfeited your standing appointment time,and the counselor may allow another student to take that time.
Be on time to your appointments. If you are more than 10 minutes late, your counselor may allow another student to use your time or may choose to use your time for other projects.
Come prepared for your appointments. Please think about how you want to spend your time with your counselor in advance and bring your assignment, your laptop, and your notes or draft.
Reschedule your appointment if you’re sick. In the close quarters of an office, it’s very easy for your counselor to catch what you’ve got.
If you have a problem with your counselor, please talk with him or her.
It is your responsibility to turn in an Extended-Time Testing Accommodation Form 7 days in advance of each of your exams. Your lack of planning is not our crisis. Please notify Jean of any changes to your exam: jwittels@du.edu, x4311
Please respond to phone calls, and it is your responsibility to use your DU email account.
Turn in requests for books on tape in advance of courses beginning.
At the end of each quarter, please remember to return any tapes you used.
