Advising & Student Resources

Preparing future leaders for careers in aging.

Good results are the result of good planning. Every Gerontology student is encouraged to regularly meet with their academic advisor.

Current undergraduate students may request an appointment with their advisor by using MavTRACK.

Based on your educational needs and goals, advisors are prepared to help you lay out a course plan that will lead you to meet those goals. At a minimum, you should meet with your advisor once each semester to review your course plan and to make any necessary changes.

Additionally, your advisor is available to answer questions you may have about degree requirements, adding or dropping courses, transfer credits, course substitutions, and more.
