We want to see you! And believe it or not, you want to see us. Here’s the why, when, and how.

Are you a new student?
As a freshman you need to talk to your advisor. We can answer questions about the College of Education, help you find appropriate classes, answer general questions about UNR, and remove your advising hold. We can help to enhance your overall college experience.

New to UNR?
Transfer students want to talk to their advisor as soon as possible to evaluate the classes they’ve already taken, decide which classes to take, and learn more about the College of Education. If you’re planning on spending your first year or two at another college, come see us early so that we can help you make efficient plans.

Want to save time and money?
If you come in each and every semester to plan your classes and talk about where you are in the program, we’ll do our best to keep you on track. You won’t be taking unnecessary classes, looking at old or outdated details, or relying on second hand information to plan your schedule.

Confused about applying?
We can help you decide on the best time to apply to the program. We’ll go over the application process and make sure you don’t miss important deadlines. Come in to see us well before you’re thinking of applying. We can also tell you how and when to take the PPST or CBEST.

Think you might be failing a class?
Come see us as soon as possible to talk about your options.

Have you reviewed your DARS and think something’s wrong?
We’ll go over it with you and make any necessary changes.

Ready to graduate?
As you get closer to graduation, the more often you come to see us the better we’ll be able to help make sure you get your diploma on time.

Who should you see?
Advisement is provided by a full-time professional advisor (the Coordinator) and two half-time graduate assistants who are trained for their advisement role. You’re not assigned an advisor, so you can pick who to see based on your schedule. Then, you have the choice of seeing the same advisor each time and developing a relationship, or seeing someone new each time to make sure we’re all double checking your plans and progress.

What should you bring to an appointment?
Your questions, and your ideas/plans/concerns about the coming semester(s).
