Center for Academic Advising
Welcome to the Center for Academic Advising!
Academic advising is crucial to a student’s success in selecting an appropriate academic major, making timely progress through required curriculum, and graduating.
Academic advisors are available to help students plan and shape their undergraduate experience at Florida A&M University. In addition to assistance with tasks such as academic planning and course registration, academic advisors engage in broader dialogue with students to help clarify academic and personal goals.
Our staff is committed to your success and strive to uphold FAMU's "Excellence With Caring" motto. Students are encouraged to visit this website regularly to learn more about academic requirements, how to contact or schedule an appointment with their assigned academic advisor, and navigate the many resources and services available across campus.
MEET OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS
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.
"The role of an Academic Advisor is key for the success of all students. We serve a unique population of students, and it is our responsibility to create a positive environment to enhance a student's opportunity to be successful." - Ms. Webster
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
