About Advising

Kinesiology Advising

There are three types of advising that you will receive in the Department of Kinesiology. First, you will see Patty or Rocio as you enter the department from the HUB advising or as you transfer from another institution. Patty and Rocio will help you with course selection for your first semester in the department. They will then send you to your Kinesiology faculty option advisor.

The third advisor you may see will be Dr. Stecyk. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see how Dr. Stecyk can help you and for his contact information.
