Advisors
At the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, students work with multiple advisors to plan how to achieve their academic interests and goals. New first-year students are assigned a first-year advisor, and all students are assigned a major advisor when they declare a major. General and major advisors are experts in different aspects of students' academic options.

For general advising, call 848-932-3000 to schedule an appointment. An advising appointment is a one-on-one advising conversation about all aspects of academic planning. A scheduled appointment provides the advisor time to review the student's transcript and Degree Navigator and provides the student time to formulate questions and ideas to discuss with the advisor.
