Academic Advising

Academic Advising supports undergraduate students by helping them to understand options and opportunities for academic programs of study, degree requirements, academic resources, and course selection. Advisors will work with students to:

  1. develop plans of study with clear pathways to achieve academic goals
  2. facilitate connections with faculty and academic support services
  3. facilitate connections with university resources including accessibility services, career services, and student affairs’ organizations
  4. provide workshops and individual and group training sessions covering a range of topics to ensure a successful academic and social transition to university life

Students are assigned an advisor during the enrollment process based off their major.

Students may identify their current advisor through Banner Web or Degree Works.

If you are a Freshman (30 earned hours or fewer) or on Academic Probation, you are required to meet with your advisor every semester.

If you have earned more than 30 hours and are in good academic standing, you are required to meet with your advisor at least once each academic year.

All students are assigned an advisor based off their major or special program.
