Undecided? Schedule an appointment with the Office of Academic Services. Students with declared majors should see faculty advisors in the academic department. We strongly suggest that you stop in for academic advising as you pursue your degree.
Academic advisement is a collaborative educational process; students and their advisor are partners in meeting the essential learning goals that support student success. Academic advisement is not an event, but a process, with the student taking the lead and responsibility for their academic career; while the advisor provides the student with the tools, direction and appropriate referrals to assist students in meeting those goals.
APSS offers virtual drop-in advising for current and prospective students who have quick questions that might not require a full-time advisor’s assistance. Please feel free to join us at one of our drop-in sessions listed below.
