Advising

Undergraduate Academic Advising

As a Sam Fox student, you will work with two types of academic advisors.

Your Four-Year Advisor  will serve as a primary point of contact for academic support from the time you first enroll until commencement. In addition to enrolling you in classes during the summer prior to your first semester and authorizing you to register the spring of your first year, your Four-Year Advisor will help you choose a major, navigate your degree requirements, understand the logic of the curriculum, and plan for second major and minor programs. Joseph Fitzpatrick and John Early are the two Four-Year Advisors in the Sam Fox School.

Beginning your sophomore year you will receive a Faculty Advisor who offers guidance within your major. Faculty Advisors help you select courses, choose a major (if undecided), understand your degree requirements, and stay on track to graduate on time. You are required to meet with you Faculty Advisor once each semester during your sophomore, junior, and senior years in order to be authorized to register.
