Academic Advising

The University of La Verne values academic advising as an important part of the unique La Verne experience. The Office of Academic Advising facilitates individualized advising for traditional undergraduate students. It assigns faculty advisors in each studentŐs field of study, advises undeclared majors, and provides advising support to traditional-age students and their advisors. Students are invited to seek guidance or request a change in advisor by visiting or calling the office in Woody Hall, ext. 4245.

Central campus graduate students are advised by the faculty program chairperson for their respective program and by the Office of Graduate Admissions and Academic Services. Graduate students seeking academic advising should contact the appropriate academic department or the Graduate Office.

Academic advising for RCA students begins on the studentŐs first visit to the regional campus. Students work closely with academic advisors in selecting a major and choosing courses each term which best suit their degree and career plans. A professional academic advisor is available for every RCA student.

By signing the registration form, or by gaining a pin number in web registration, the student signifies that he or she takes responsibility for classes selected. The academic advisorŐs signature on the registration form, or the issuing of a pin number to traditional age undergraduates and Central Campus graduate students, indicates that the advisor has reviewed the studentŐs class choices and has offered appropriate advice.
