When do I need an advising specialist?
Although we encourage students to work with your assigned academic adviser, there are times when you may need to speak to an adviser who specializes in a different academic program than the one in which you are currently enrolled. Our campus has college contacts and program coordinators who are knowledgeable about programs offered at this campus and other locations throughout the University.
