Shimer-IIT Proposal

Shimer-IIT Proposal
This initiative is to enhance easier registration for classes between the institutions. It has been observed that most IIT students are not happy with the Humanities, Social Science and general Arts electives offered at the university. Shimer's curriculum offers a vast and diverse selection of classes in those fields and so it would be beneficial to IIT students to take advantage of that, and vice versa for Shimer students to take advantage of what IIT has to offer.

Academic Advising

Academic advising is an integral part to having a successful semester. It has been suggested that some academic advising experiences have been less than satisfactory. Currently a survey has been created to attempt to gauge student satisfaction with academic advising in their department.
