Our programs are organized into eight advising pathways, each with its own advising specialist. Advising is based around a one-student, one-advisor model. Your advisor serves as a single point of contact for your advising questions, general concerns, campus resources, and success support. New and transfer students are assigned an advisor based on their declared program or major within two weeks after each semester begins.
Before seeing an academic advisor:
Current or re-admitted students and those who have completed First Semester Advising, are invited to schedule a General Advising meeting. This is a 45-minute comprehensive individual advising session to discuss your unique needs and goals, and to create your academic plan for all semesters.
How to Schedule:
Schedule an in person or virtual appointment through Navigate
Stop by the Academic Advising Front Desk
Note that in January and August, few appointments are available. During this time, we offer expanded drop-in advising without an appointment. Prepare for 10-60 minute wait times.
