Current Students

All students enrolled in a degree, diploma, or certificate program are assigned to a Program Advisor. You can find the name of your assigned academic advisor in Self-Service under Student Planning → Go to Plan & Schedule → Advising.

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.
