As a Cheyney student, you’ll be matched with a faculty advisor who will play a critical role in helping you make the most of your academic experience. Faculty advisors serve as mentors who assist with curricular planning and support your growth and development as a student. Consulting with your advisor on a regular basis–at least twice each semester–will help foster your academic and professional development.

Students who declare a major are assigned an advisor from that specific academic program. First-year students and students who are undeclared are assigned a general advisor.

Faculty advisors assist by:

• Introducing you to the curriculum, the major and requirements to complete a degree program
• Guiding you through course selections
• Serving as a subject-matter expert
• Offering advice and mentoring
• Helping make connections between academic and career pathways
• Recommending internships
• Introducing you to professional development and experiential learning
• Mentoring you through the graduate school selection and application process

Academic advising is one of several ways Cheyney is here to support your success.
