First Year Academic Advising
The College of Agriculture takes pride in the quality of its academic advising. Each student is assigned a professional academic advisor within the Office of Student Services for Agriculture for their first year, until they transition to their academic department. If you are a first-year student, please get in touch with our staff below to schedule an appointment with a member of the center.
If you are a Transfer Student, you will work with our Student Success Coordinators. Please see below for the list of our academic departments and associated Student Success Coordinators.
