Office of Academic Advising
We are now located in Rod Library, Room 230!
This is located in the lobby of the library directly across from The Learning Center (TLC), Kitty Corner from the Library Services Desk or on the left side of the elevators.
Look for the Office of Academic Advising signage above our check-in desk and TC hanging on the door.
*The picture marks where the signage is since the silver letters on white walls can be a little hard to read from a far.
Navigating college life can be both exciting and challenging — and that’s exactly why we’re here! The Office of Academic Advising is your go-to resource. Our advisors are here to support and empower you throughout your academic journey, from choosing a major to planning for your future.
From exploring your options to making important decisions, we’ll connect you with the right tools and resources to help you thrive. Whether you need answers, encouragement, a sounding board, or just a little direction, we’re here for you.
Is your major not quite what you thought it would be? If you are feeling this way you are not alone.
