Good Advice
by Lindsay Jernigan

Students at UAFS are advised one of two ways, either through the Student Advisement and Career Planning Center or Faculty advised. Students who go through the Advisement Center are equally divided among the advisors or students can go in and request who they want to see. The students that are faculty advised have to be Bachelor Degree seeking and at least have had MATH 1203 or higher. The Advisor is assigned based on your degree plan.
