Advising

Advising is provided through Decker College's Division of Advising and Academic Excellence. Additionally, prior to advanced registration for your second semester, you will be assigned a faculty advisor via email.

Your faculty advisor is a valuable resource to help you navigate future course content, understand graduate policies and procedures, and explore career goals.
