College of Letters and Sciences Advising

Q: When am I assigned a new Advisor?

A: Any student declared in a Major held by the College of Letters and Sciences will be reassigned an Advisor once they have reached over 24 credits. If a student reaches this at the end of the fall semester, students will be reassigned to their new Advisor on the first day of the Spring semester. **If a student took a Winter term course (which will put them over the 24 credits once finished) and the final grade isn’t in by the start of the spring semester, then that student will be reassigned to their new Advisor once the final grade/credits have been posted. This could be a week or so after the start of the spring semester, in the meantime you can reach out to your AAEC Advisor for help if needed.

*There will also be a Jumpstart event during the 2nd/3rd week of February that explains the College of Letters and Sciences Advising.
