Office of Academic Advising
Academic Advisors in the Office of Academic Advising support undergraduate students, with a focus on first-year students and exploratory/undeclared students. Students with a declared major in their second year and beyond receive guidance from faculty to draw from their expertise in the major field. To connect with your major advisor, please review the information located on our appointments page.
