Academic Advising
Muir’s academic advisors are committed to helping you make the most of your education and explore options to achieve your personal, educational, and professional goals. We meet with students one-on-one at all levels, freshman to senior, concerning general education and graduation requirements; prerequisites for all majors; course selection appropriate for students’ abilities, interests, and goals; and compliance with academic regulations. Advisors also consult on the selection of majors and minors (including the possibility of double majors); the Muir Special Project (MSP) major; education abroad; honors programs; the Dartmouth Exchange program; adding and dropping classes; petitions, transferability of summer school courses and courses from other colleges and universities; and academic difficulty and probation.
Academic Advising also holds workshops for undeclared majors, students in academic difficulty, and others.
Express 15s
Express 15s are 15-minute walk-in sessions to deal with simple questions such as
- Changing your current quarter classes.
- Picking classes for your next quarter.
- Deciding whether or not to drop a class.
We offer Express 15s Fridays throughout the quarter. See our complete schedule below.
Appointments
Appointments are 30-minute sessions to deal with more involved questions, such as
- Developing a long-term academic plan.
- Discussing options for majors or double majors.
- Updating and reviewing your degree audit.
Appointments start the second week of every quarter.
The Virtual Advising Center (VAC)
You can submit a question 24 hours a day on the Virtual Advising Center. An advisor will respond to you within 2 working days (and often sooner).
