Academic Advising

Find the people and resources you need to support your academic and personal development.

Academic Advising for your Success

Navigating college can be tough—from figuring out which classes to take to learning how to register and then adjusting to more challenging academic work.

You’re not alone! And you don’t have to figure it out on your own, either. You have knowledgeable and caring advising services here to help.

There are many forms, instructions and resources on this site to learn more, for those who prefer to do their own research and so that you can take a leadership role in planning your education.

But that doesn’t mean it's expected that you know all this already. Your advisors are here to work with you every step of the way.

How Advising Works

Academic Advising at Seattle University is more than just an appointment to discuss classes. Advising is a partnership between students and their advisor and focuses on collaboration, strategic planning and identifying individual goals.

Academic advising is available across all colleges and programs. Students have an assigned academic advisor as well as a program-specific advising center to help cover all your advising needs.
