Qui est mon conseiller pédagogique?
Les étudiants de certains diplômes et programmes se voient attribuer un conseiller pédagogique précis dans leur faculté ou leur programme; il y a des diplômes et des programmes où ce n’est pas le cas.
Vous pouvez en savoir davantage sur les types de conseillers en visitant le site Web de conseillance pédagogique. L’Annuaire des conseillers est une bonne ressource pour vous aider à trouver votre (vos) conseiller(s) pédagogique(s) et à communiquer avec lui (eux).
Si on vous a attribué un conseiller précis d’une faculté ou d’un programme, le nom de votre conseiller apparaît en haut de votre relevé de notes non officiel dans Minerva (sous le menu Dossiers des étudiants).
Si vous n’êtes pas inscrit à un diplôme ou un programme avec conseillers désignés, vous pouvez rencontrer l’un des conseillers pédagogiques de votre faculté ou programme.
Certains étudiants ont plus d’un conseiller (par exemple, si vous êtes inscrit au B.A., vous aurez un conseiller pour chacun des programmes de majeure, mineure et baccalauréat spécialisé), tandis que d’autres rencontrent le même conseiller pour toutes les questions liées à leur diplôme ou programme d’études (par exemple, si vous êtes étudiant au B. Sc. en sciences infirmières, vous devez contacter votre conseiller en sciences infirmières pour toute question).
