Academic Advising is an Essential Service and is a Form of Teaching

The Office of Academic Advising assists undergraduate students and faculty advisors with understanding academic policies and procedures, registration timelines, degree requirements, and graduation planning. Helping students stay on track for graduation is a priority. We also provide support to students who need help with Self Service Student Planning functions and exploring major programs and minors.

  • See the Advising Guides & Forms link below for information on changing a major program or adding a minor program.

Each Student is assigned a Faculty Advisor from their Major department

  • The Faculty Advisor (major) is the student’s primary academic advisor
  • Faculty Advisors assist students with educational planning, academic problem solving, and degree requirements & graduation timelines
  • The Faculty Advisor’s name and contact information is listed in Self Service – Student Planning – My Progress. On the My Progress main page in the At a Glance section, click on the blue Show Program Notes link
  • Faculty Advisors are experts in their field who recommend courses, experiences, and campus resources, to help students achieve their goals

Graduate Students: graduate students utilize the individual program of study for course planning and registration. For advising assistance, graduate students contact their their assigned Faculty Advisor and/or the Graduate Program Directors.
