Who is my advisor?

In the Navigation menu located in the upper left-hand side of the screen under Academic Summary select Profile. On your profile page select the Advisors link. Your prmary advisor is your faculty advisor with whom you should meet.
If Academic Planner does not have an advisor listed for you, please stop by the CFC Main Office in FOR109.
Meet My Advisor
You may contact your advisor directly. Contact information is available in the CFC Directory for faculty or contact your department office for assistance.
Most faculty advisors have scheduled office hours for meeting with students but can also schedule separate appointments if needed.
Why do I need an advisor?
Academic advisors have information on policies, deadlines, general education requirements and more.
You will be assigned a permanent academic advisor soon after the beginning of fall or spring semester depending on when you begin your studies here at UM.
Advisors are also your primary source of career information and can serve as references for jobs. You should talk to them about your career choices and interests in your field.
Group Advising
Many departments and programs have Group Advising Sessions each semester for students to be advised quickly. Students should come prepared to these sessions with their unofficial transcripts and a proposed schedule for the upcoming semester. Unofficial transcripts can be obtained on CyberBear or through your department office.
