Work with an Advisor
Academic advisement is the reflective process of planning a student’s education, keeping in mind Nazareth’s academic policies and degree requirements as well as the student’s choice of major, academic abilities, special interests, co-curricular activities, and professional and life goals.
All students must complete requirements for a major and Core.
- Incoming first-year and transfer students are assigned faculty advisors from within their major department.
- Undeclared: Open Path Program students are assigned to an advisor from the Academic Advisement office or a volunteer faculty member. After declaring a major, students are assigned advisors within their major department.
- If you do not know who your assigned advisor is, click on the "Advising" tab in the Plan of Schedule View in Student Planning on NazNet Self-Service or contact the Academic Advisement office.
- Make sure you understand the roles and responsibilities for both you and your advisor.
- You can schedule an appointment to work with your advisor at any time, but you are expected to meet with them at least once a semester during the Advisement & Course Selection period.
