Meet with an academic advisor (undergraduate)

Undergraduate students connect with Faculty Student Services offices for personalized support related to their academic journey. Advisors assist with program and degree planning, course selection and registration, declaring or changing majors, understanding academic standing, and navigating academic appeals. Students can also receive help with deferred exams, re-exams, transfer credit, graduation requirements, internships, co-op programs, and official document requests such as Letters of Permission or Completion. Each faculty at the University of Alberta provides dedicated advising services tailored to its programs. Students should contact their specific faculty office for accurate and program-specific guidance. Prospective students may also access advising for program exploration and planning.
