Academic Advising
Muir Advising & You
Our team of Academic Advisors help you make decisions, plan classes, navigate campus deadlines and policies, and connect you to student support services. We're part of a network including specialized advisors in major and minor departments and programs, and the Career Center.
From orientation through graduation, our relationship is based on working together as partners. We advise. You decide.
The role of a Muir College Advisor is to guide, clarify, refer when appropriate, and to empower you to make informed decisions about your academic life. We support you and will also challenge you to own your choices and to reflect about what it means to be an active participant in your education.
We can answer questions about general education, university requirements, clarification on general enrollment or university policies, and how to use academic tools and resources. We also can help in making sense of your time at the university. We will give you a referral when needed. This is done when your question is better addressed by a different campus expert. For instance, here are some common referrals:
- For specific major or minor related questions, you want to consult with the major/minor department advisor.
- For financial aid eligibility or scholarship questions, you want to contact the Financial Aid Office.
- For billing or payment related questions, contact Student Financial Solutions Office.
- For visa (F-1/J-1) related or international student services, contact ISPO.
