Why do I have to see my advisor every semester?

January 17, 2018

Question 1: I was told I can not register for my classes until I meet with my advisor, why? My adviser gives me wrong information and tells me the wrong classes to take. Why do I have to meet with him if he doesn't seem to know what I need to take. I was also told I can not go to the academic advising center since I "have a major" who am I supposed to go to if my major adviser is incompetent at advising.

Question 2: What is the point of having to see my advisor every semester if they give me wrong information or don't understand degree requirements/degree works? I have heard about a lot of students having similar experiences with a bunch of different advisors. Who is in charge of the advisors anyway?
