School of Information: Academic Advising

All students are assigned a faculty advisor upon admission to the School of Information. Where possible, students are matched with advisors based on their academic and career interests. Students can switch advisors at any time.

At the School of Information, faculty advisors help students in two primary areas: 

Setting Academic And Professional Goals

Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their advisor to discuss their academic and career goals and plan their course of study. Notably, students are not required to get faculty approval before registering for classes or applying for an internship.  For You can find School of Information faculty office hours and contact information in this Google Doc.
