The College of Architecture’s Office of Student Services<\/a> houses academic advisors <\/a>representing each of the college\u2019s undergraduate programs. Advisors counsel undergraduates and prospective students on offered programs, course selections and academic progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSchedule an appointment with your advisor today\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your advisor\u2019s primary goal is to ensure you earn your bachelor\u2019s degree on time.

Prepare questions for your advisor and, if necessary, fill out student forms and review your degree evaluation in the Howdy<\/a> portal.
