Advising Statement.
Academic Advising is an essential component of a Syracuse University education. The University is committed to providing the individual advice and assistance that students need at every step throughout their degree programs.

Students are responsible for scheduling, preparing for, and keep advising appointments; for seeking out contacts and information; and for knowing the basic requirements for their degree programs. Students bear the final responsibility for making their own decisions based on the best information and advice available and, ultimately, on their own judgment.
Academic Advising: Advisor Responsibilities.
Advisors are responsible for developing a thorough knowledge of the degree requirements within the students’ program of study and a working knowledge of academic options and resources throughout the University. Advisors are expected to involve students by encouraging them to ask questions, gather information and explore options so that they may develop a meaningful academic plan. Advisors will be available to students on a regular basis, monitor their advisees’ progress, assist in considering career options, and make appropriate referrals to other campus offices.
Academic Advising: Assignment of Advisor.
Advisors are assigned at the time of admission to the program. The assigned advisor and their contact information can be found on MySlice > View My Advisor.
