Academic Advising helps you plan your studies, stay on track toward graduation, and make informed academic decisions.
Every student is assigned an academic advisor at the start of the academic year. This advisor will be your main point of contact for course planning, program guidance, and any academic concerns.
We recommend at least once per semester to review your progress and discuss upcoming plans. You should also reach out any time you face an academic challenge or need guidance about program choices.
Your advisor can assist you in:
