Entering students are assigned professional advisors based on his/her intended major. Exploring students, or students without a declared major, are assigned to advisors who are knowledgeable about a variety of majors and can help guide the decision making process. Advisors are available by appointment throughout the year and will make every effort to accommodate the schedules of students.

Academic advising is a shared responsibility between the student and the advisor. Students are expected to be prepared for their advising appointment by selecting a tentative schedule of classes to discuss with his/her advisor. Advisors will provide accurate and timely information to students to help them explore life, career, and academic plans and goals.
