Serving as a connection between students and the wider University community, the Office of Undergraduate Advising advises and advocates for students to improve their decision-making skills, enabling them to explore and choose majors and pursue academic and personal goals. The Office, much like other academic departments, engages in instruction within a body of knowledge and learning with students. The Office also affirms the role of academic advising in supporting institutional mission and the stated goals of the College of Arts and Sciences.
