Advising and Support
Our mission at the Weinberg College Advising Office is to support all students as they define and pursue their unique academic paths within the arts and sciences. We help students expand their intellectual range through critical inquiry and self-discovery inside and outside the classroom. By developing long-term advising relationships, we mentor students through all phases of their academic careers.
If you are a faculty member with an advising concern, please contact the Assistant Dean for Academic Advising, consult the information on the Weinberg Faculty website, or the Action Guide for Faculty and Advisers.
