Academic Advising Office (Undergraduate Day)

Academic Advising is an essential element of a student’s collegiate experience; it is one of the few endeavors universal to all college and university students and plays a significant role in their education.

The Academic Advising Office (undergraduate) provides services available to all students, with particular attention given to first year and exploratory studies students.  Services include academic counseling, course planning and selection, and educational and career planning.

Academic Advising Office Mission Statement

The undergraduate day Academic Advising Office assists and supports students and academic advisors as they collaboratively define and develop educational goals and an academic plan consistent with the student’s personal, career, and life goals.

The office’s mission parallels SNHU's mission. We recognize the ultimate responsibility for making decisions about educational plans rests with the individual student. However, we also believe academic advising is a shared responsibility between the students and their academic advisors. Advisors work closely with and assist students to identify and assess the opportunities, challenges, and consequences of their academic and career  decisions. We are committed to providing an integrated program of academic advising and support services to help students realize and achieve their respective goals.
