Advising

Undergraduate programs

At Online and Continuing Education, we know that a supported student is a successful student. We are here to help and support you from admission to graduation. Your professional advisor is available year round to assist with course selection, planning your future terms, changing majors, understanding academic requirement/policies and navigating campus resources with you.

Advisors typically work with you over the phone, but you can do advising in person if you live nearby, or via email if that is most convenient for you.

Nursing students are contacted directly by the Nursing Department for advising appointments and Nursing Orientation.
