How can I find my advisor?
You can check on WINS under the AAR and Advising tile for the name and e-mail address of your advisor. If you have not been assigned an advisor, contact the appropriate advising or departmental office:
- Students with fewer than 24 units and Undeclared undergraduates: contact the Academic Advising & Exploration Center
- Students with 24 or more units who have declared majors in College of Arts & Communications, College of Education and Professional Studies, and College of Letters and Sciences - contact the department of your major.
- Students with 24 or more units who have a declared major in the College of Business and Economics - contact the CoBE Advising and Career Services office
How do I get my advising report?
An up-to-date Academic Advising Report (AAR) is available on WINS for students seeking their first degree. Select the AAR and Advising tile, then 'AAR'. It is recommended you click the 'View as PDF' to for a more viewer friendly format.
You should review this regularly, and always take an updated AAR when you meet with your advisor.
