Undergraduate Academic Advising

The Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising is located in Brownson Hall. Its professional staff serve as primary academic advisors for all students who have not declared a major, and as standby advisors for all undergraduates.  Professional advisors are assigned to students according to their major area of interest.

Our team of Professional Academic Advisors educates students about the University’s policies, procedures, and expectations, and works with students both individually and in small groups to explore their interests and develop their academic and personal goals. Students will learn about the University’s degree requirements, course selection and registration process, curricular and co-curricular opportunities, and they will receive appropriate support and referrals to other campus resources as needed. When students declare their major, a faculty advisor in the major is also assigned to work with them in addition to their professional advisor. The Advising Office will assist students in transitioning to a faculty advisor when they declare a major, and will then continue to serve as a resource for all students through graduation.
