Academic Advising

Each student in the School of Architecture has access to academic advisors and faculty mentors who can assist students in identifying their individual academic interests and establishing professional, scholarly, and career objectives.

The School’s Academic Advisors assist with:

  • Admissions inquiries
  • Registration and curricular questions
  • Student records and forms
  • Short- and long-term academic planning
  • Conflict resolution and mediation
  • Connecting to Institute resources for health, housing, academic development, career planning and more 

The School of Architecture Chair and Associate Chair are available to all students to assist in resolving any issues that cannot be adequately addressed by the advising team.
