Academic Advising
At Sacred Heart University, academic advising is an integral part of a student’s education, and regular meetings with an academic advisor should be an important feature of a student’s time at the University. Each College coordinates academic advising for all first-year students; advising for incoming transfer students is coordinated by a representative from the student’s chosen college. Once a student officially declares a major by completing our Major Declaration Form, he or she will receive a faculty advisor in the appropriate major discipline. Academic advisors not only assist students with course, program, and scheduling selection, but also provide the guidance and support needed to assist students in exploring personal and professional goals
