CHSS Academic Advising

Academic advisors support and partner with students so that you can make informed decisions, develop goals to succeed academically and plan for the future. The decisions you make regarding course selection for each semester should be made collaboratively with your department academic advisor to ensure you are completing the correct requirements.

Meeting with an advisor can also help you clarify your goals, choose courses, track your progress and make decisions supportive of graduating on time.

The relationship between advisor and advisee is one of shared responsibility. While you as a student are ultimately responsible for the completion of your degree, we encourage you to seek guidance from your advisor and to check in each semester.

Meet With an Advisor

Academic advising appointments are currently available both in person and virtually via Zoom, with an option for a video or phone appointment.

If you have a CHSS advisor listed on your Degree Works, you can make an appointment with a CHSS Advisor through Navigate. If you do not have a CHSS advisor listed on your Degree Works and you would like to meet with someone, please visit our Live Chat feature, Monday – Friday, 9am – 4pm, and we can schedule an appointment for you. Instructions on how to access the Zoom link will be provided once you have scheduled an appointment.

If you have general questions email us or use our Live Chat during regular business hours.
