Academic advisors play a key role in supporting students to achieve their academic and professional goals. Students work with academic advisors to:

  • choose an appropriate major based on their interests;
  • select appropriate courses for their program of study;
  • understand their graduation requirements;
  • monitor their academic progress;
  • learn about academic support resources;
  • stay informed about the university's deadlines, policies, and regulations; and
  • explore academic options and opportunities.

Please also see AAC's full mission statement.

Each advising appointment typically lasts for 30 minutes. The AAC also provides drop-in advising and workshops throughout the semester.

Faculty Advisors

While the AAC serves as the primary unit for advising to TUJ undergraduate students, faculty advisors are also a resource for students to discuss their course selection.
