Advising

Academic advisers at the colleges’ Student Academic Services Office assist students with clarifying academic and career goals, learning about educational options and campus resources, planning a program of study, understanding academic policies and procedures and degree requirements, and assessing their academic progress toward their degrees. Students who are interested in a particular major or who have already declared a major also should meet with an adviser in the appropriate academic department.

From matriculation to graduation, students can take advantage of a range of advising services offered by the Arts and Sciences Student Academic Services Office.
