Advising
What is an Advisor?
Advisors are individuals that help you plan your academic career. They guide you in choosing classes and direct you through the college process. Students should meet with their academic advisor each semester for assistance and guidance with degree planning, registration and connecting to valuable resources on campus.
New and Returning Student Advisors
Staff advisors in the Advising and Learning Center office will advise most new and returning students during the first semester. You can visit the new student advising & registration page for more details on how to schedule an advising appointment.
Current Students Advisors
Faculty advisor information can be found on your Banner Self-Service portal homepage under the advisor heading on the right. Students can send the assigned faculty academic advisor a secure message through the Banner Self-Service Portal.
