Colleges and Departments

All colleges and some academic departments provide academic advising for undergraduate students enrolled in their programs. Individual colleges have different advising policies. Your college’s advising policy will help you determine when and how often you are required, or encouraged, to see an advisor.

Your college is responsible for determining and verifying that you have met all requirements for graduation.

You should consult your college office to find out where to go for advising and whether or not advising is required. Below is a directory of college offices that provide advising services or advising-related information. Please note that an appointment is generally required to see an academic advisor.
