Advising

The Office of Student Services provides academic advising for current and prospective students. Advisors are available to answer students’ questions by phone, e-mail, or in person (by appointment only). Students can meet with an academic advisor for help with course selection and registration each semester or can consult with an advisor on an as-needed basis.

Some topics our advisors can discuss with you include:

• Academic policies and procedures

• Applying to the bachelor of science

• change of major workshop

• Course registration

• Degree planning

• exceptions to policy

• permission to enroll

• Provide referrals for other support services on campus

• Studying abroad
