Who Is My Advisor?
Most students have two advisors, but your Primary Advisor is your main point of contact for registering for classes, getting academic advice, and finding resources.
-
Primary Advisor: This is your primary contact for all academic planning. For most majors, your Primary Advisor is a faculty member in your department or a dedicated College Advisor assigned to your specific program or pre-major.
-
Success Advisor: Every student also has an assigned Success Advisor who is available if you are unable to connect with your Primary Advisor or need additional support.
Check the directory below to find your Primary Advisor. If your specific major is not listed, your Primary Advisor is a faculty member in your academic department.
