Advisors for FALL 2024 Students and After

Academic advisement was to be transitioned to a new model starting in Fall 2024. This model will vary based on classification and when students are accepted to the University. Your advisors will be based on your major for students who were admitted for Fall 2024, as well as those AFTER Fall 2024. Your Academic Advisors’ contacts are listed below! As always, you can contact them via the Navigate360 Platform.
