CDAD: Common Department Advising Days
CDAD (College Department Advising Days) are special opportunities to meet one-on-one with your faculty advisor. It’s a chance to ask questions, review your progress, and make sure you’re on track in your graduate program. Advisors focus on the courses, requirements, and opportunities that matter most to you — helping you plan classes, explore sub-plans, and map out your path to graduation.
