Dear college advisers,
I hope that you enjoyed a restful winter recess. I write now with some advising reminders for the spring term:
- Plan to contact your advisees by nextTuesday, January 14th, to suggest dates and times to meet
- Click here for Student Profile and your advisees’ names, email addresses, photos, and fall-term grades
- Begin meeting with your advisees once they return to campus (for meeting tips, advisers to first-years click here, and advisers to sophomores click here)
- Keep in mind the goals of spring-term advising for first-years and for sophomores, and some helpful topics to discuss during your spring advising meetings
- Keep in mind the deadlines for final course schedules for first-years and sophomores
- Review the January advising dates and deadlines in the chart, below
Additional details can be found in the For Advisers section of the Advising Resources website, such as:

- Spring Checklist for College Advisers to Sophomores
Advising Resources
Please also note that first-years and sophomores are allowed to select new college advisers or declare a major after their first term of enrollment (i.e., starting now). The director of undergraduate studies (DUS) becomes the adviser for students who declare a major (in lieu of the college adviser). For further information, please click here.
