Meet an Advisor

Student Services

The College of Architecture’s Office of Student Services houses academic advisors representing each of the college’s undergraduate programs. Advisors counsel undergraduates and prospective students on offered programs, course selections and academic progress.

How can my advisor help me?

Your advisor’s primary goal is to ensure you earn your bachelor’s degree on time. With an extensive knowledge of the college’s major and minor requirements, advisors gauge your academic progress and help you pave a direct path to graduation. They also provide information on the courses, certificates and programs you are eligible to pursue.

When should I meet with an advisor?

You’ll first meet with an advisor during your New Student Conference. Once enrolled in our programs, you’re always welcome to meet with an advisor to review your degree progress. Beyond general advising, they can help you with specific inquiries, including:

Change of major/minor requests

Declaring a minor

Declaring a certificate

Add/Q-drop deadlines

Degree planning

How do I schedule an appointment?

1. Schedule through Navigate

Advising appointments are virtually scheduled in the Navigate student success portal. Log in to the app or website using your university NetID and password. Appointments must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. It’s recommended that you schedule the meeting a few weeks prior to ensure your advisor’s availability.

2. Prepare for your meeting

Although advisors have access to your academic history and files, you are still responsible for coming to your meeting ready to discuss your degree plan. Prepare questions for your advisor and, if necessary, fill out student forms and review your degree evaluation in the Howdy portal. If you’ve never used these resources, your advising meeting is the perfect time to start. As always, our advisors are happy to serve and accommodate you. Here are some important forms that may be used before or during your appointment:
