Student Advisement

Focusing on the success of each student, the Office of Student Affairs & Alumni Relations (SAAR), has advisors for students enrolled in all academic programs.  Students meet with their advisors a minimum of one time per term.  Appointments with undergraduate student advisors are scheduled via the Navigate Student app.  Walk in office hours are also offered by each advisor.
