Advising for Current Students
Advising at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ happens in two parts: Faculty Major Advising and Main/GE Advising. Undergraduate students need both.
Faculty advisors are full-time faculty members who advise students with junior and senior standing on their major courses. They determine transfer credit articulation for major courses, and students must meet with them to sign off on major requirements during the semester before expected graduation. Students with minors in Art & Design may also meet with major advisors to confirm minor requirements. Faculty advisors are assigned based on your degree program (see below).
Main/GE advisors are professional staff members who help students with frosh- and sophomore-standing navigate GE/breadth requirements and foundations major requirements; they also help junior- and senior-standing students confirm upper division GE/breadth and university requirements. GE advisors are assigned based on your degree program.
Students participating in programs such as EOP, Excel, GANAS, LINK, PIIA, Renaissance, Sankofa, or Veterans may contact these programs for additional support for non-major courses and university requirements.
