Academic Advising Mission
The University strives to ensure that quality academic advising is available and accessible for all students, geared to each stage of the student’s academic career.
When should you see an advisor?
What do you do if you've read through all the information that you can find on your Faculty and department website, in the Course Catalogue, here on the Advising website and on the Courses and Program website and you're still stumped about what courses to register for or what to do about a difficult situation? Now is the time to contact an advisor!
It's recommended that you check in with the advisor for each of your programs at least once a year, to make sure that you're meeting your program requirements and to discuss any questions that you might have.
If you're in a degree such as Nursing, where you're completing only one specific program, this may mean only speaking with one advisor in your Student Affairs Office. If you're in a degree such as Arts, where you're completing multiple Major/Minor/Honours programs, you will need to contact a departmental advisor in each of those programs separately.
