Academic Orientation and Advisement
The Advisement and Course Selection Process
What Is Advisement?
Each Armstrong student will have an academic advisor, a faculty or
staff member who assists in several areas: choosing a major, exploring
career options, and selecting courses for the following semester. The
advisor gives advice: students must take responsibility for their own
choices, for selection of their academic program, and for meeting
university deadlines.
When Do Students Go for Advisement?
New AASU students will meet with an advisor during Navigate Armstrong,
our new student orientation program. Continuing students may contact
their advisors at any time, but they must meet at least once each
semester to discuss course selection for the following semester.

Appointments are usually required during these busy times, so students
should schedule them early.
Where Do Students Find Their Advisors?
Students will seek advisement in one of several places, depending upon their circumstances.
- Academic Orientation & Advisement Office—212 Solms Hall
Several categories of students come here for advisement:
-
Freshman Learning Community participants—regardless of their major—receive initial advisement from this office during Navigate Armstrong, their summer orientation session.
-
Joint Enrollment Students—high school juniors and seniors who are
jointly enrolled in high school and AASU—also come here.
-
Undeclared Majors—students who are undecided about their major—
come to this office until they are ready to declare their major.
- The Department of the Chosen Major
Students who have chosen a major will go the academic department
offering that major. Advisement procedures vary from department to
department, so students should visit their departments early to ask
about advisor assignments and advisement schedules: no later than the
end of March to plan for summer and fall courses and by the end of
October to plan spring semester courses. For a listing of departmental
advisement contacts, visit our

departmental advisement contacts
- Adult Academic Services/Academic Assistance—2nd Floor, Victor Hall
Students who have been out of high school for more than five years and
who are fulfilling pre-college course requirements in English, reading,
and/or math must be advised here.
- 62-Plus Program—203, 204, and 205 Victor Hall
Students who are 62 years or older seek advisement here.
