ESP Advising
For undergraduate student advising, please schedule an appointment. When you schedule your appointment, please leave a phone number where you can be reached during the time of your appointment. To schedule an appointment, log into Patriot Connect.
PRO TIP - For an overview about Patriot Connect, watch The Student Experience on Patriot Connect (7 minutes, 50 seconds).
The Office of the Provost has directed that all students use Patriot Connect instead of Navigate Mason to facilitate consistency and ensure a smooth transition.
For graduate student advising, please follow departmental instructions below:
Admitted students have an assigned advisor who should be the primary contact for academic questions. Procedural and process-related questions can be addressed to the ESP Graduate Office who will consult with the ESP Graduate Program Director and/or College of Science Graduate Office as needed.
Prospective graduate students should contact the ESP Graduate Office with any questions.
