Who is my Advisor | College of Visual and Performing Arts

If you don't know who your advisor is, call the administrative assistant in the department of your major, and they should be able to give you the name of your faculty advisor.

You can make your advising team work for you by making and keeping regular advising appointments; planning class schedules in conjunction with your advisor; and monitoring your progress toward the completion of your degree program.
