What are academic advisers?

As part of our Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) Student Success and Advising Program, you can meet with an academic adviser.

Academic advisers are senior academics available to offer you advice and support throughout your studies. You can talk to them about a range of different topics including:

  • improving your academic performance
  • setting study goals
  • planning your degree and choosing subjects
  • understanding the range of different student support services available to you and accessing the best resources for your needs
  • what to do if you are struggling at university and need some advice.

Before you contact an adviser

Before you contact an academic adviser, it's important that you read both our degree planners and frequently asked questions (FAQs). These have been developed specifically to assist undergraduate FASS students.

Degree plans

Read the degree plan for your course, as this contains important information about your course requirements and includes sample enrolments each year.

FAQs by school

Refer to the following school-specific information and check to see if your questions are answered in these FAQs:
