College of Liberal Arts advisors

The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) advisors are year-round professional staff members whose primary role is academic advisement. College advisors are able to assist all students with a major or minor in liberal arts programs.

A CLA advisor can be helpful with advising for:

• New students to the University (incoming freshmen/first-year students and new transfer students)
• Students changing their major to one within the College of Liberal Arts from another College/School at the University
• Questions regarding the overall degree framework, including Core Curriculum, CLA language, CLA breadth, or the minor requirements
• Students on academic recovery for low University GPA
• Pre-graduation evaluations for students nearing the completion of their degree and preparing to graduate
• General advising or exploration of liberal arts majors and minors
• When faculty mentors are not available (especially during winter or summer breaks)

First-year students generally meet with college advisors before their first semester at the University (as part of summer orientation advising) and throughout the first year.
