Undergraduate Advising

UNDERGRADUATE ADVISING

The success of our students is the number one priority in the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences. Meeting regularly with your advisor will enable you to make good academic choices, identify sources of support, and ultimately, help ensure your success.
