Medical Laboratory and Radiation Sciences

The three programs within the Department of Medical Laboratory and Radiation Sciences are each dedicated to providing sound advising for its student body.

Getting An Advisor

UVM students are assigned to a faculty advisor at the outset of their academic careers. As students progress through the curriculum they often decide to change advisors for a variety of reasons. Frequently, a relationship that began as a student/advisor develops into a friendship that lasts beyond college graduation. The process to change advisors is simple and needs to be initiated within the department. If you do not know your advisor's name, you may look it up by going to the Student Information Access section of the Registrar's Office website.

Meeting with Your Advisor

You advisor can be an invaluable source of information. Getting to know your advisor and other faculty can only enhance your experience at UVM. You are encouraged to meet with your advisor frequently. You should meet before registering for classes each semester. Additionally, you will want to meet with your advisor to discuss withdrawal from any classes, progression within the curriculum, taking a leave of absence, and to learn about study abroad options. Look for your advisor's office hours or make an appointment to connect with him/her.

Student Handbooks

Everything you need to know about your UVM experience can be found in the Student Handbook. Read about the Department's philosophy, advisement, code of conduct, curriculum, policies and more in Medical Laboratory and Radiation Sciences Policies and Procedures Manual.
