Undergraduate Advising

x6210 Unistructure MRC Wing, 1st Floor

The Undergraduate Advising Office provides academic advising services, as well as program planning and policy information for all undergraduate students. At the start of the first year, all undergraduate students are assigned a professional academic advisor.

Through participation in academic advising students will:

• Demonstrate the ability to make effective decisions concerning their degree and career goals.
• Develop an educational plan for successfully achieving their goals and select courses each term to progress toward the completion of their undergraduate degree.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the value of higher education.
• Utilize the resources and services on campus to assist them in achieving their academic, personal, and career goals.
• Be able to accurately read and effectively utilize a degree evaluation in their educational planning.
• Graduate in a timely manner based on their educational plan.

Academic advising is a collaborative educational process whereby students and their advisors are partners in meeting the essential learning outcomes, ensuring student academic success, and outlining the steps for achievement of the students’ personal, academic, and career goals. This advisor/student partnership requires participation and involvement of both the advisor and the student as it is built over the student’s entire educational experience at the University.

Please contact the Undergraduate Advising Office (ugadvise@bryant.edu) if you have concerns about a student. They endeavor to be proactive in dealing with student issues and are committed to helping students get the academic, emotional, and social support they need to be successful.

Student-Athlete Travel Letter Policy

This policy is implemented by the certification of official travel schedules by the program Supervisor of each Sport, Athletic Compliance, and the Faculty Athletic Representative. Approved schedules are then provided to the Office of Undergraduate Advising. After the add/drop process each term, Undergraduate Advising generates electronic documentation which are emailed to the professors of all student- athletes. Student-athletes are copied on these emails. Student-athletes are strongly advised to meet with their professor well in advance of an absence from class to discuss any conflicts and make arrangements for missed assignments or exams.
