Academic Advising

Chart your college career

SMU's University Advising Center can help with your academic planning from your first term toward graduation. Even if you know exactly which major you want to pursue, it's important to formulate a plan to build your academic portfolio and meet all of the requirements toward your degree.

As a first-year student, you'll be assigned a professional advisor to help you map out an academic program that meets your individual goals. Once you declare a major, you'll be assigned an advisor in your academic field – yet another opportunity for a mentoring relationship.
