The Advising Center is committed to promoting student learning by assisting undergraduate exploratory students in the development of educational plans that are compatible with their career and life goals. The staff is assigned as advisors to “exploratory (General)” students—those students who have not declared a major and can help match personal interests with offerings in the university curriculum, talk with students about the implications of their college education, and help clarify academic and personal goals.

All undergraduate students may receive support and guidance from the Center in the area of General Education and graduation requirements, however the Center publishes information on General Education requirements, course selection, graduation requirements, and academic policies and procedures. The Center also coordinates campus-wide undergraduate advising events throughout the year.

The Center acts as a resource for faculty advisors by offering advisor development opportunities and supplemental support. Support may involve information on academic policies, general education requirements, and other needs specific to faculty advisors.
