Who do I contact?
Academic Advisors have in-depth knowledge regarding program requirements as well as University of Guelph regulations, policies and procedures. Academic Advisors can assist you in the development of your educational plans by asking appropriate questions and identifying alternatives. Academic Advisors can help you explore outcomes by providing useful information about who to talk to and how to get in touch with them. If you are experiencing issues of a personal, medical, or psychological nature affecting your academics, an Academic Advisor may be helpful in identifying campus resources and can discuss your academic options.
Faculty Advisors are experts in their field. They can provide information on their specialization as well as career opportunities. They can also provide assistance to students with selecting courses based on student interest.
