Advising

Academic Advising involves engaging with a student to help the student process and achieve his/her goals. During advising for our BS in Technical Communication or Interactive Design degree programs, we actively meet with our students to try to assist with their academic success and progression towards graduation.

Who is the TCID Advisor?

Sam Rathvon @ srathvon@kennesaw 

Should You Be Advised?

YES! All of our students in TCID should be advised every semester. There are active changes in class choice, prerequisites, and class names that make it extremely important that you make sure that advisement is a priority for you prior to registration.

If you are a new freshman or transfer student, then advisement by our department is crucial for your success. Please make sure that you sign up for an Orientation session after you are officially accepted to Kennesaw State. During Orientation, you will meet with our academic adviser and be able to register for your classes.

I Have An Advising Hold

If you have an Advising Hold on your account, it means that you MUST be advised prior to registration for the upcoming semester. If you see this hold placed on your account, you will need to make an appointment to be advised as soon as possible.

How Do I Make an Advising Appointment?

Please make all advising appointments with Sam through the Kennesaw State advising portal.
