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.

*This college has department-level advising. Department-level advising may occur in addition to or instead of college-level advising depending on your major and your class standing. You should consult your college office to determine if department-level advising is recommended or required for your major.
Several offices on campus provide services that complement college-based advising. The support programs provide an additional level of service to students with specific needs and concerns.
