Academic Advising
An academic advisor is available to assist you completing your program requirements. Please see the chart below and contact the advisor responsible for the school in which your major is offered. You may contact an advisor by calling 1-800-766-6067:

School of
Arts and Sciences
Rachel Lanier
Ext 1651
School of
Business
Lana Anderson
Ext 1347
School of
Health Sciences
Health Science Program Directors

While an advisor will help you make sure that you are reaching your academic goals, it is each student’s responsibility to meet all course, program and graduation requirements.

If you choose to self advise, it is imperative that you follow the college catalog in effect when you first enrolled. However, if you interrupt your program of study for two or more consecutive terms (excluding summer sessions), you are subject to the requirements in effect when you re-enroll.

An update of your academic progress is now available online. You may access your progression sheet from the following site: http://online.mountainstate.edu

Step 1: Under login- enter your User ID and password

Step 2: Read the privacy policy

Step 3: Select Campus Web-Register for Class link

Step 4: Select Advising Tab - Your Aim (or academic major) will appear

Step 5: Select Grad Report (progression sheet) above your name

The grad report/progression sheet will identify the courses completed and the courses in progress for your degree. It is imperative that you follow the graduation report to ensure completion of your degree requirements. Some courses require prerequisites. It is your responsibility to check prerequisite requirements in your college catalog. The graduation requirement audit report will identify the hours earned and the hours required for your degree. Please use this tool when selecting courses for your upcoming semester. The graduation requirement audit report is an unofficial report. The Office of the Registrar will complete an official audit once your graduation application is received in Student Services.
