Undergraduate Advising

Students are our top priority

We actively provide students with a supportive environment, offer timely and dependable guidance, and educate students about campus policies and academic programs.

We partner with faculty advisors, academic departments, and other support staff to encourage all students' academic and personal development.

Not sure where to start? Meet with your advisor one-on-one to discuss your options and identify programs that will meet your needs.
