Yeah, BIG TIME - I agree with Gary... not using your advisor could be a HUGE heartache when you study for, then pass a test that doesn't count toward your degree! Add the fact that you are with UoP which means that it's also going to be a very expensive mistake. You shouldn't ever feel like an idiot for asking someone to do their job properly. For the tuition rates that you're paying... they should fly to your home and personally hand you a customized, 14K gold 'degree roadmap'.

Hey... your username (nj593): by chance, are you in NJ? If so, why would you be with UoP when you can pay the in-state tuition rate of $125 per credit at Thomas Edison?
