General Office Rules

  1. Due to scheduling availability, Advisors are unable to "squeeze students in" between their appointments or allow for same-day appointments. No exceptions.
  2. Due to the volume of requests, emailing individual advisors may not be the fastest way to ensure that more time-sensitive needs are met. Please read our "How to ÈâÈ⴫ý" section for the best ways to connect with our team.

An academic advisor is a student's guide to success at ÈâÈ⴫ý. The advisement process allows a student to create a relationship with an advisor who can assist with planning a educational career, learning the skills needed for academic success, and connecting the student to a variety of campus resources and services.

Academic advising is a collaborative process between student and advisor. The student's relationship with an advisor is a two-way street by which both have defined responsibilities for ensuring a successful partnership.
