The Academic and Career Advising Center is staffed by professional academic and career advisors who assist each first-year and transfer student with their transition to UNE. This team of advisors begins their work with students prior to their first semester, helping them to create a schedule that is geared to each student’s major, career aspirations, and other unique needs. This is also the first step towards building a relationship with a dedicated person on campus whom your student will be connected with throughout all four years. Your student and their advisor will discuss major and career goals, any academic challenges the student may be facing, and various resources UNE offers to assist students.
It may be helpful to know that:
- Your student will work with their academic and career advisor throughout the summer to create an individualized first year schedule that incorporates major requirements and student interests.
- Transfer students will meet with an advisor, review all prior college credits and the University’s registration system, and will be provided with course suggestions that align with a degree path in their intended major. Note that transcripts for any prior coursework should be submitted to the Office of Admissions to ensure an appropriate schedule is built.
- Your student is encouraged to be in touch with their advisor when they have questions or are struggling. Our advisors want your students to be successful and are a great resource. They cannot be maximally effective, however, if your student does not ask for help.
- Our academic and career advisors are excited to meet your student!
