At Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, every new student is assigned to an academic advisor proposed by the relevant heads of the department and confirmed after the approval of the faculty/school committee. The academic advisor acts as a guide for the students who might have concerns about the courses, examinations, university regulations, or other subjects related to their education and training. The students are under the supervision of these advisors until their graduation. However, it is the student’s responsibility to select courses in accordance with prerequisites, the advisor’s recommendations, the departmental curriculum, and the requirements of the degree.
