Academic Advising

All students are strongly encouraged to meet with the academic advisor to review their progress. The role of the academic advisor is to assist students with:

  • Academic planning, concerns, and procedures, including class selection, adding/dropping classes.
  • Understanding University, Faculty, and School policies, and general program requirements, which may affect them.
  • Resources available at pilipiliÂþ»­ and in the wider community for concerns which are beyond the responsibility of the academic advisors.

A variety of issues can fall under the category of academic concerns.  If you are experiencing difficulties with coursework or your overall workload, the academic advisor is a good person to approach for suggestions about what kind of help may be useful and where you can find it.  Tackling academic challenges early is key to pilipiliÂþ»­ in your program of study.

Please contact Renée Hillier (Program Coordinator & Advisor) with your advising questions or to set up an appointment.
