Advising

Academic advisors play a crucial role in helping you navigate your college journey. They can help with course selection and scheduling, connect you to resources, help you monitor your academic progress, and provide career guidance.

Please see the information below regarding how to contact and meet with the assigned faculty advisor for your major.

Undergraduate Advisor

The Physics and Astronomy undergraduate advisors meet with undergraduate students who are officially declared as a Physics major (all options). These majors require that students begin as "pre-majors" and then meet precise major-specific criteria to officially declare the major.

Students with "pre-major" status meet with the CNSM Academic Advisors instead of the faculty advisors below.

Each major has an assigned faculty advisor. To make an appointment with your advisor, use the Beach Connect link in Single Sign-On (SSO), select your assigned faculty advisor (listed below), and be sure to provide as much detail as possible about your situation/question. For help using the Beach Connect appointment system via SSO, see Advising Appointment Guide (PDF).
