Academic Advising

Your academic adviser is your "go to" support system as you navigate your first year of college. Advisers guide and make recommendations to help you to find success. You are required to meet with your adviser at least once a semester.

How do I find my Adviser?

  • You can identify your assigned academic adviser on your MySAIL account. Log in at the top right of the screen with your NetID and password. Find the "Academic Profile" widget. You will see your Academic Adviser listed in this box.  
Appointments

We know it feels like the semester just started, but it's already time to check in with the First Year Advising Center. All students are required to attend an advising session every semester to make sure they are on the right path toward academic success. 

We recommend you take advantage of our group advising sessions if you are interested in the following major areas:

  • Business
  • Engineering and Computer Science
  • Pre-Med/Health
  • Pre-Law
  • Nursing

During a group advising session, you will:

  • Learn more about your major, degree requirements and tips for a successful year
  • Connect with other students in the same or similar major, while also completing your required appointment
  • Be able to schedule a follow-up appointment with your adviser after the group advising session if needed

Click the button below for instructions on how to sign up for group advising and see the available dates and times.
