Academic Advising is a critical component to achieving your degree and starting your career.


What You Get out of Academic Advising

Academic advisors can help you with academic planning, decision-making, and problem-solving.

Navigating your way through higher education can be stressful—even overwhelming—but your advisor can help ease this transition by giving you the tools you need to be successful. Advisors can teach you how to make academic decisions, gather information, and make informed choices.


What Can an Academic Advisor Help You With?

  • Major/minor exploration
  • Register for the right classes
  • Graduation planning
  • Time management strategies
  • Organizational strategies
  • Developing educational/career goals
  • Evaluating academic progress
  • Identifying campus resources
  • Study strategies
  • Understanding academic policy

Advising for Your Entire College Career

Academic advising doesn't end after your first year at UNO. You'll continue meeting with your college's advisors until graduation.

You'll have someone there every step of the way—making sure you're taking the right courses, helping you land an internship, and directing you to the appropriate resources.


Changing Your Major?

Schedule an appointment to meet with, or call the advisor in the department you wish to change to.
