Academic Advising
Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science tries to provide the best possible academic advising. Often the answers to student questions are available in the Undergraduate Academic Calendar, and students can solve their problems independently. If you need additional guidance, you can make an appointment to see an Academic Advisor.
Please Note: Although academic advising is available within each department or from the Dean of Science office, it is solely the responsibility of students to ensure that they are properly registered and meet course requirements and the requirements of the program for which they are registered. All students should review the course calendar, the relevant program requirements and course information carefully.
