Academic advising for undergraduate students

You can still connect with an academic advisor without needing to drop by their office—many advisors are offering either video conference or phone meetings. You can find an advisor within your Faculty or Student Affairs Office, but there are also advisors within some Schools and Departments. Check out the "What Advisors Do" webpage to determine what type of advisor will work best for you, then consult the Advisor Directory to find your academic advisor.
