Advising at Stonehill

Academic advising at Stonehill spans all four years of the student's education. Every incoming student is assigned an advisor by the Office of Academic Services and Advising. The advisor will be either a faculty member or a professional advisor, depending on the student's major and other academic needs. Those students who are undecided about their major will still be assigned an advisor. The goal of the advising program is to help each student establish a plan in which they will achieve both their academic and career goals.

 

Students and advisors should meet at least every semester to discuss course selection, degree progress, career planning and how the semester is going.

 

What do Academic Advisors assist with?

  • Providing you with your individual pin number, required to register for courses
  • Providing guidance in selecting courses that will help you to make progress towards: the Cornerstone Program; your chosen major(s)/minor; exploring an area of interest
  • Clarifying the timeline for adding/dropping courses, or withdrawing from a course (available on the academic calendar)

Year-round:

  • Helping to interpret the Stonehill curriculum and creating a 4-year academic plan
