Academic Advising

The University of Saint Mary is proud of its advising system which connects students with faculty advisors and program directors who work closely with students throughout their academic degree program. Building a relationship and communicating routinely with the designated academic advisor is an important aspect of a successful academic career. Academic advisors are available to offer guidance to students in designing their academic programs, in decisions regarding course selections, support on any issues or problems the student may be facing, guidance on career choices, general orientation to academic programs, policies, and procedures.

All University of Saint Mary students are responsible for making and keeping advising appointments and for following through as necessary on his or her program of study. Academic advisors provide office hours and are available to students for advising during those times, or by appointment.

All students are additionally responsible for maintaining close contact with departmental and/or program advisors to ensure that all degree requirements are being met and that the student is making progress toward degree completion. The final responsibility for knowing and following the university’s academic policies including graduation requirements rests with the student.
