The Biological Science Undergraduate Advising Office is staffed by three full-time undergraduate academic advisors, a part-time senior clerk, and one faculty supervisor (Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies). It is located in room 1067 of the King Life Sciences Building (see university map) and is open from 9:00-5:00 pm. Appointments, made in advance, are highly recommended but walk-ins are welcome!

To make an appointment with an advisor, come to room 1067 King Life Sciences Building. Students are not assigned to particular advisors in the biology department; but may choose an appointment based upon personal preference or availability, whichever the student prefers.

Students are strongly advised to seek academic advising at least once a semester, preferably prior to the registration cycle. Individuals interested in graduate work should see Judy Bowers, by the beginning of their junior year for advice on doing research for credit and applying to graduate schools. Students should see individual faculty members for advice about research interests and potential Directed Individual Study (DIS) opportunities.

The Health Professions Advising Office of the College of Medicine, offers additional preprofessional advising for students interested in careers in the health science professions-Dentistry, Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Veterinary Medicine.
