Advising

You advisor can help with a lot more than signing up for classes. They are here to help you plan out your college career — both undergraduate and graduate. Answering questions like: What will this degree allow me to do afterwards? Is graduate school right for me? and many others.

Request to meet with an advisor

It is best to meet with an advisor at least once per semester. In the department of Physics and Astronomy, you can schedule an appointment by emailing your advisor.
