Academic advising is one of the most important services offered by Salisbury University. It is a process that helps students identify their career goals and assists them in the development of an educational plan designed to meet these goals.

All matriculated degree-seeking students at Salisbury University are assigned an academic advisor. Students, who have a declared major, are assigned a faculty advisor within their major department, while students who have not declared their major are assigned faculty or professional advisors by the Office of Academic Affairs.

Students must confer with their assigned academic advisor during the “program planning period” in the fall and spring semesters. It is during these conferences that course selections for the upcoming semester, general education and major requirements, long term academic planning, and academic issues are discussed. It is the responsibility of the student for meeting all University and departmental major graduation requirements.
