Academic Advising
All students have an academic advisor throughout every phase of their program. All faculty participate in academic advising. A faculty advisor is responsible for helping students select courses and acts as a resource throughout their course of study. Any difficulties a student may have should be discussed with his/her faculty advisor.
Awards
Various honorary awards are granted by the university and/or the School of Education, including:
Alpha Sigma Nu National Jesuit Honor Society
Criteria: Students are nominated by the faculty and invited to apply for membership in Alpha Sigma Nu. This represents outstanding scholarship and the student is required to be in the upper 15% of the class. In addition, service to the school and to the community is considered. The student is required to complete the application which includes an essay on his/her commitment to the ideals of Jesuit higher education, and also submit two letters of reference.
