Advising is a partnership between you and your advisor that is grounded in frequent communication regarding personal goals, self-knowledge, and information about majors, careers, and university policies. Environmental Sciences (ES) advisors do not “prescribe” answers for you; rather, we prompt you with the questions or resources you need to explore your unique interests, abilities, and values, and to set and reach your unique interests, abilities, and values, and to set and reach your personal, academic, and career goals. While academic advising is a collaborative process, the ultimate responsibility for your educational experience rests with you, the student.
Initial Advising – toward the beginning of the semester we will meet to discuss current courses, university resources, and ES requirements such as the focal area and External Learning Experiences
Registration Advising – midway through the semester we will meet to review your short and long-term academic plan. If planning requirements are met, the student's hold will be released to register.
The University Calendars page highlights important deadlines related to registration, course additions, drops, and withdrawals as well as other university events.
Timely and effective communication is a shared responsibility between students and their assigned academic advisors.
Please allow 24-48 hours for a response to your message.
*During peak periods (e.g., Pre-Registration Advising), response times may be longer due to high email volume.
All student updates and intended changes should be communicated directly with your assigned advisor to ensure accurate and timely support.
