MISSION
The Office of Advising and Academic Services provides general advising to students and assists with a wide variety of academic processes, both graduate and undergraduate. Comprehensive academic advising is available for undergraduate students who are declared majors in either the College of Architecture & Environmental Design, the College of the Arts, or the College of Communication & Information, as well as for students in other colleges who are exploring our majors.
The office also provides services to students who are undecided about a choice of academic major, who are contemplating general changes of academic programs, and those who have been placed on academic probation. Assistance is provided to help students with a variety of processes, including declaring majors and minors; applying for graduation and freshman forgiveness; and processing transient forms, special petitions, and changes of registration. Advisors may be seen by appointment. Call the Office of Advising and Academic Services.
