All Truman students are assigned an academic advisor. Entering freshmen work with a professional academic advisor within the Residential College Program; for on-campus students these advisors are found within the students¹ own residential colleges. The Residential College Program advisors also advise all undeclared students and work closely with faculty in the disciplines.

Upperclassmen with declared majors are customarily assigned faculty advisors in their major field of interest. Your advisor can often provide you with a sense of direction in planning your academic career, so be sure to maintain communication with your advisor on a regular basis.

Remember that it is your responsibility to schedule appointments, be prepared for those appointments, be informed about degree requirements, and to make the final decisions concerning your education.
