WHO IS MY ADVISOR?

The College of Arts & Sciences offers advising services through both faculty and college advisors. Students in most majors will be assigned a faculty advisor; others may be assigned a college advisor. To find your assigned advisor, log onto MyBGSU. You will need to authenticate this page by providing your user name and password. Within MyBGSU click on "My Advisor" under the Academic Services section. This page will identify your advisor and provide contact information.

WHY DOES THE COLLEGE HAVE BOTH FACULTY AND COLLEGE ADVISORS?

Faculty and college advisors perform overlapping, but slightly different roles. Faculty advisors provide professional insight relevant to the student's career objectives within the discipline and suggest appropriate course alternatives or experiential learning opportunities. In most majors, your faculty advisor is your primary advisor. College advisors can also provide general information about your discipline and sign your junior audit between 60-90 hours. Advisors in the college are also assigned for students who are undecided about their major or whose major does not have faculty members directly responsible for academic advising. College advisors can also assist with policies and procedural questions or can assist you with changing your major.

HOW SOON WILL MY ADVISOR BE ASSIGNED?

Your advisor's name and contact information will be listed on MyBGSU within the first two weeks of your first semester at BGSU. If you have questions or concerns prior to that time, you may contact the college office in 205 Administration Building at 419.372.2015 and a college advisor will be available to assist you.
