Lupe Aaron and Dr. Pearl are co-advisors for all Maritime Studies students. You should meet with one of them every semester.
Degree Audit
A complete accounting of the courses that you have taken and the requirements they meet. A completed degree audit is necessary to determine what courses you still need to graduate.
Degree Plan
A formal schedule of classes for up to three semesters out. We like for every student within 3 semesters of graduation to have a degree plan. A degree plan is a written plan for the courses that you need to take in order to graduate.
Change of Major
You must meet with Dr. Pearl in order to affect a Change of Curriculum to Maritime Studies. Please make an appointment.
Signature Requests
You must have Dr. Pearl's signature for 485 requests and student worker eligibility forms. You may leave these with Lupe Aaron (CLB 123) or try and catch Dr. Pearl during walk-in hours.
Dr. Pearl will also be happy to meet with you about anything else related to student life (graduate school, undergraduate student research, academic problems, etc.). Please make an appointment, or walk in during normal hours.
