Find Your Advisor

It is important to contact your advisor early for course planning and to have your advising hold lifted for registration. Advising holds are placed on student accounts in October for spring registration and March for summer and fall registration. If you do not have an assigned Program Advisor in Self-Service or they do not respond to your email communication within three (3) business days, you may request assistance through one of our service options.
