Advising & Admissions
Welcome to the School of Communication Advisement Center's website. This web site contains tools to help communication majors, with over 24 hours of credit, through the college process by answering frequently asked questions, providing useful forms, example plans of study, major checklists, and more. Besides helping communication majors, the Advisement Center’s website provides information for those applying to the communication major or for new transfer students to Illinois State University.
Communication students can also visit us in person at the School of Communication Advisement Center in Fell 450 regarding any of their academic questions. Communication students are encouraged to call ahead at (309) 438-7080 to schedule a one-on-one advisement session with one of our advisors.
Sincerely,
The School of Communication Advisement Team
