Undergraduate Advising

All students are supported by an advisor. All first and second year students work with a Professional Advisor, then transition to a Faculty Advisor. 

Transfer students are supported by a Professional Advisor and a Faculty Advisor during their first year, followed by a Faculty Advisor in subsequent years.

Degree Pathways: review and plan your academic program.

First and Second Year Manning Students

During your first two years in the program, you are assigned a Professional College-Based Advisor (CBA) from the Center for Learning (CLASS). You can find and contact your CBA by logging into your MyUML Dashboard and clicking on Academics, where you can also view their calendar and schedule an in-person meeting.
