Student Success Center - Academic Advising

Academic Advising

The Student Success Center (SSC) provides academic advising for newly admitted undergraduate students until they are transitioned to faculty advisors in the department of their major and is the primary advising office for Major Not Declared/exploring students.

Advisors help students to make informed decisions about their course selections and university policies and procedures. They also offer career services for all students. Students should meet prior to each registration with their primary/faculty advisor in their major department and also with their SSC advisor regarding their career development progress.
