Advising is an essential part of a successful undergraduate experience. There are several advising opportunities available to theater students.

First Semester Students

The College of Fine Arts Advising Center will help students select classes for their first semester. Contact an advisor at 702-895-5390 or by visiting the CFA Advising Center in Building 2 of the Central Desert Complex (CDC).

Departmental Advising

Departmental advising sessions will be scheduled every semester so students may meet with faculty to determine their schedule and assess their progress. Registration is then completed online. Students are also encouraged to schedule meetings with individual faculty or the undergraduate coordinator, Shannon Sumpter, 702-895-3261, as needed.
