Architecture Advising Appointments

Architecture Faculty Advising vs. Pathway Advisors

It is each student’s responsibility to know and keep abreast of their individual progress toward fulfilling the requirements of the degree program they are following. Meeting with advisors at least once per year can vastly improve a student's experience with advanced planning.  PSU requires all Freshman and new Transfer students to visit an Advisor during their first year at PSU.

Pathway Advisors

PSU Pathway Advisors are professional counselors who can assist students with topics beyond the scope of Architecture, such as general elective requirements (cluster and inquiry courses), changing or adding a major/minor, planning for unexpected breaks in study (those who need to change their course plan for the next few years), etc.  Appointments with these Advisors can be made through the Pathway Advising website.

Meet with your Pathway Advisor to address any of these concerns or needs:

* Transferring to PSU

* Course planning and advising for academic requirements (Bachelors requirements, University Studies/Honors, Major, and all PSU-wide degree requirements)

* Mandatory advising, Major confirmation advising, Financial Tools/Resources, Career Development, Graduation Plan

* Academic standing issues –warning, probation, dismissal

* Referrals to Campus Resources: Learning Center, Disability Resource Center, Women’s Resource Center, Queer Resource Center, etc.

* Academic petitions

* Financial aid petitions

* Co-admission advising

* Changing your major outside of the pathway

* Connecting with advisors in second major, a minor, and support services (e.g. TRIO, Athletics, etc.)
