Academic Advising

Each undergraduate student is assigned a primary academic advisor in their major. Your advisor is central to the network of academic support you receive at Purchase.

The Academic Advising Office facilitates the advising system, but also provides outreach and front-line academic service and guidance to any student who is:

  • New to Purchase (both first-year and transfer)
  • Currently undeclared/undecided about their major
  • Changing majors/minors or in an academic “re-direction”
  • Unclear about an academic policy or degree requirement
  • In academic jeopardy or difficulty and doesn’t know what to do
