Office of Academic Advising
The Office of Academic Advising engages students through transitions, connections and resources. Advisors can help you navigate our academic experience and are here to support you as you make decisions about your major and future. Visit us in Bartlett Hall (BAR) 0089 in our temporary location through July 2025.
The physical office location of the Office of Academic Advising will be closed from Monday, December 23, 2024 through Monday, January 6, 2024. During this time, responses to phone and email communications will be provided as staff is available.
Our goal is to listen and support you throughout your time at UNI. Meet with our advisors if you have questions or want support, if you are looking for a sounding board, or if you simply someone to point you in the right direction.
