Academic Advising
Academic advising at Stonehill spans all four years of the student's education. At its core, advising is a learning process in which students are guided towards discovering meaning and purpose in their academic and co-curricular lives.
Advising at Stonehill
Academic Advising supports students in areas that include academics policies and procedures, exploring majors, time management and course selection. Advisors also work with students on issues around academic challenges or strategies for academic success.
At Stonehill, advising is organized by major. New students are assigned a faculty advisor based on their academic interests and always have the option to change as their interests evolve.
Those students who are exploratory or undecided on a major are assigned an advisor that can help them explore their interests. The goal of the advising program is to guide and empower students towards the identification and fulfillment of their academic, personal, and professional goals.
