Faculty and staff advisers are available within each college and department to provide students with accurate information on academic programs, policies, procedures and deadlines. Advisers help students select a major, design a program of study, map out a schedule, monitor academic progress and clarify career goals.

The Academic Advising Center assists students who have not chosen a major with identifying major and career options, selecting appropriate courses, clarifying life and educational goals and harnessing university resources.
