What You Will Learn Through Academic Advising

Academic Advising is an undergraduate student-focused service where our goal is to help you throughout your academic journey. Academic Advisors can help you with reviewing your program requirements, planning your program, course selection, and meeting your academic and post-graduation goals.

By engaging with academic advising, you will: 1) proactively participate in your degree planning and course selection, so you can make informed, independent decisions about your program; 2) discuss and learn how your academic and career goals align with your overall life goals and how to actively pursue these goals; 3) learn to interpret academic policies and procedures; 4) discover the many student services that are available to you throughout your degree, learning when and how to engage with them.

This site aims to provide you with helpful information, whether preparing for your appointment or planning ahead. Please review the information throughout and, when you are ready, book an in-person or virtual TEAMS Academic Advising appointment.

Note: Students are ultimately responsible for knowing and meeting their degree requirements.

Preparing for Academic Advising Appointment

Book your academic advising appointment in advance. During peak times, it may be difficult to get an appointment with your advisor at a moment’s notice. Additionally, please ensure you cancel or change your appointment if you are unable to make it. Missed appointments create empty time slots which cannot be used by other students.
