Academic Advising is here as a resource for you!

The Academic Advising Center (AAC) offers General Education (GE) and Graduation Requirement (GR) advising to all undergrad students. We educate, inform and advise towards a timely graduation.

• Drop-in sessions: Lassen Hall 1013

Undergrads in EOP, Honors, Liberal Studies, MEP, Athlete, Black Honors College, and those who have applied to graduate will be served by their respective advisors, not within our center. We look forward to connecting!
