Through individual appointments, small group advising sessions and more, the Academic Advising Center will provide the following services for undergraduate students:

Answer questions concerning academic policy, transfer credit, the appropriateness of general education courses, changing majors, petitions, etc.
Provide advising workshops for new students and assist with registration.
Provide comprehensive advising for all first year students.
Serve as primary advisors for undeclared students.
Make referrals to additional advising resources and academic support services.

Underlying all of these services is the goal of educating students so that they might assume their appropriate responsibilities in the academic advising process.

Undergraduate students have both a program advisor in the department of their major and an advisor in the Academic Advising Center. Students can visit the advising portal to find the contact information of the program advisor for their specific major department.

In addition, students can look on look on my.chapman.edu to see which faculty member he or she has been assigned to for major-related mentoring (questions regarding academic pursuits, career options, and research).

For questions specific to your major or minor please do not hesitate to reach out to your program advisor. If you are not sure who your program advisor is, check the list of program advisors to find contact information for major and minor program advisors on campus.

For general advising, contact your academic advisor within the Academic Advising Center. All AAC advisors are listed on our contact us page.

For major/minor specific advising, please contact your program advisor (within your major/minor department) directly using our program advising portal.
