In addition, it gives you valuable information such as suggested and required degree plans and information about costs, scholarships and finan- cial assistance, campus resources and a student handbook. Read it with pleasure and with care. Take every opportunity to consult your academic adviser to ensure that you are taking advan- tage of courses and University resources that will help you reach your educational and career goals and graduate on time. If you are not sure where to find your academic adviser, contact the dean’s office of your college; the phone numbers are listed on the page opposite this one. If your major is “undecided,” contact the advising office in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at 575-3307; otherwise, call the dean’s office in the college or school of your intended interest. Remember, the University of Arkansas is committed to your success. The faculty and staff are here to support you as you work to achieve your goals. Ask for help and advice whenever you need it. The University of Arkansas is committed to the policy of providing educational opportunities to all qualified students regardless of their economic or social status, and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, sexual orientation, disability, veteran’s status, age, marital or parental status, or national origin.
