In addition, it is each student's responsibility to be familiar with all of the rules, regulations, requirements, and academic policies of George Mason University.

Advising for all student-athletes should be completed between October 14th and November 1st. Refer to Major Areas of Study on Page 3 for specific information regarding your major.
