Who is my advisor?

Pre-Major students are assigned an advisor based on academic areas of interest. Check Navigate to see who your Pre-Major Advisor is. Once admitted to a major, students will meet with their major advisor. 

Need fast advising support?

During peak registration times (first week of the quarter and Registration Period 1) the Pre-Major Advisors become very busy and Pre-Major students may have to wait two weeks or longer to get an advising appointment. Drop-in advising can help you see an Advisor right away!
