Summer Registration Faculty Advisor
(during summer registration period, typically June)
Incoming students work with a Summer Registration Advisor to choose their first-semester classes.
Pre-Major Advisor
(typically first two years)
Once on campus, students are assigned a Pre-Major Advisor. During the first two years, Pre-Major Advisors discuss students’ interests and aspirations, act as a guide to a liberal arts education, assist with course registration, and introduce resources to help students explore their academic, career, and lifelong goals.
Major Advising
(typically junior and senior years)
By the end of sophomore year, students transition to a Major Advisor, a faculty member within their declared major. Major Advisors offer holistic mentoring and also help students select courses in their major and pursue opportunities in their field of study.
After the first semester, students may change advisors at any time, with permission of the new advisor via an electronic form, through the Student Information System (SIS).
Request to change Academic Advisor
Students with multiple majors or concentrations should consult faculty in each program for guidance. Similarly, students who are pursuing Pre-Professional Studies should work closely with pre-professional advisors.
