OUR
ACADEMIC ADVISERS
assist students with clarifying academic and
career goals, learning about educational options and campus resources,
planning a program of study, understanding academic policies,
procedures and degree requirements, and assessing their academic
progress toward completion of their degrees.
Students who are interested in a particular major should also meet
with an adviser in the appropriate academic department. From
matriculation to graduation, students can take advantage of a range of
advising services offered by the Arts and Sciences Student Academic
Services Office.
E-Advising
Arts &
Sciences advisors use email as one way of providing you information
about policies, procedures and programs to assist you in making
efficient progress towards graduation; scholarship notices; and
potential employment opportunities. If you do not regularly open your
UH account, please be sure to forward it to your e-mail of choice. If
you do not have access to your e-mail account from home, computers are
available on campus at the following locations: CLIC Lab, Sinclair
122; Keller PC Lab, Keller 213; Keller Mac Lab, Keller 204; or check
with your major department to see whether the department has a
computer lab for their majors.

Asked Questions
The questions most commonly asked by Arts & Sciences students
are answered here by our Advisers.
KINDS
OF ADVISING APPOINTMENTS and how to get one!
Before
scheduling an appointment, please be sure to look over our
descriptions of what types of advising are available and what they
involve.
- Standard
"one-on-one" advising:
A student and an adviser meet individually (and always
confidentially) to discuss the academic needs of the student. All
current and prospective Arts and Sciences students can make
one-on-one appointments with an adviser at Hawaii Hall 108, or by
calling 956-8755. Office hours are Monday through Friday,
8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
- JUMP
advising: JUMP stands for Junior
Matriculation Planning. JUMP sessions provide students with
a complete review of degree and graduation requirements, as well
as an evaluation of a student's progress toward his or her degree.
JUMP sessions are held in groups, not individually. As they
are not held daily, please check ahead of time for the schedule of
JUMP sessions and availability of seats! Call 956-8755 Monday
through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
- GRAD
advising: GRAD sessions enable seniors to
review degree requirements, plan their final semester(s) and fill
out the necessary paperwork to apply for graduation. A GRAD
session is mandatory and should be attended one semester before
the student intends to graduate (note: not during the final
semester!). GRAD sessions, like JUMP sessions, are small group
workshops. As they are not held daily, please check ahead of
time for the schedule of GRAD sessions and availability of seats!
Call 956-8755 Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
- Online
advising (self-help) via our Tools and Reference page:
This page
contains our listing of Frequently Asked Questions and Quick Tips,
a brief listing of academic terms, a GPR calculator, and more.
- Specialized
advising programs for Arts & Sciences students:
This page has links to our First Year Center (a
walk-in advising center for first year students - freshmen and
incoming transfer students) and Professions Advising
