Academic Advising Services

All students in the college are encouraged to meet regularly with an academic advisor. Faculty and staff advisors are available to assist students with questions or concerns they have as they progress through their academic careers. This includes advice on course selection; departmental, college and University requirements; career guidance; assistance with academic problems; and referral information about other services.

Each department in the college has an Undergraduate Program Director/Chief Undergraduate Advisor who facilitates advising to students concerning the major. Advising regarding college requirements, general academic advising, and information concerning other academic matters (for example, late course adds, late course drops, course repeat options, repeat course substitutions, academic discipline) and programs within the college are handled through the Humanities and Fine Arts Advising and Career Center, in E202 South College (413-545-6152; advising@hfa.umass.edu). This office also houses the College Records Auditor.
