Student experience

Student resources

From funding opportunities to safety guidelines, we're here to make sure you have what you need to thrive as a SOA student.

Academic advising

As you navigate your degree in the School of Art, our Student Advisor Team is available to talk about your options and answer specific questions about your program. They can provide information about programs and entrance requirements, course selection in the undergraduate and graduate programs, and assist with the registration process. They can also refer you to other student services, academic supports, university resources and community organizations when needed.
Book an undergraduate advising appointment

While our advising office is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students can consult with an advisor by email or in a pre-scheduled Teams meeting.
