Academic Advisors provide advising on educational and career goals, academic planning, and related services to students who have not declared a major. Each degree-seeking student is assigned an academic advisor with whom they must consult with each semester. The Advising Center staff works with students who are undecided about their major. Once a student has declared and been accepted to a major, they are assigned to a faculty Advisor in that department.
You can find answers to many questions in the Advising Center. We:
- Advise all students prior to their acceptance into a major
- Advise on course selection for the upcoming semester
