What is Academic Advising?
Academic Advising at FGCU begins at Orientation. As students progress, professional advisors match individual needs with available resources in the field of study with the goal of keeping students on track to graduate.
What do Academic Advisors do?
Academic advisors guide students in their transition into and navigation of the university experience. Our staff helps students clarify their interests, skills and values in the context of class selection, major choice, and curriculum planning. We empower students to make informed academic decisions while helping them interpret policy and understand the university resources available to assist in their academic success.
UAS Commitment to Social Justice
University Advising Services at Florida Gulf Coast University is committed to advocating for social justice for our Students, Advisors, Staff, and Leadership. We embrace full and equitable participation of all: gender identity, sexual orientation, race, size, age cohort, ability/disability, faith, religion, ethnicity, gender expression, by building an inclusive community where everyone has equitable access to opportunities, resources, support, and guidance.

We Provide Advising Services Through:

Advising Appointments

Drop-in advising is best utilized for questions and issues that may be resolved quickly (typically 10-15 minutes). Visit your advising area webpage for their specific drop-in advising days and times.

Find Your Academic Advisor

How do you know which advisor to see on campus? Your advisor is determined by a combination of your current class status and declared major. Students can find their academic advisor listed on the top of their Degree Works audit in Gulfline.

 

Most freshmen students are advised by Exploratory Advising. Students are eligible to transition to college advising after they meet certain academic requirements. More information about the advising transition process can be found in the FAQ section. If you are a transfer student or have already transitioned, you are advised by the college advising office below that houses your major:
