Advising

Academic advising

Advisors at the School of Educational Studies (SES) are ready to assist you. We help undergraduate, undergraduate-transfer and graduate students in a variety of areas, including guidance on institutional policy, course planning, and preparation for graduation and beyond. Learn more about our advisors below and set up an in-person or phone advising appointment today.

All of our appointments have been moved to online appointments or phone appointments. The process for making an appointment is still the same. If scheduling an appointment with Amy or Kristen or Marissa, to “Pick a location for your Appointment” choose “Online Video Conference”. The process for scheduling with Erin or Michele has not changed.
