Academic Advising @ Bentley
Academic advising is an essential component of a Bentley University education. The university is committed to providing individual assistance to students throughout their degree programs. To this end, students have an excellent array of resources at their disposal.
- All first year students are assigned a Faculty Academic Adviser for their first year. In concert with the First Year Seminar instructor and student facilitator, this team will help students become acclimated to all aspects of Bentley life.
- After the first year, students are no longer assigne
d a specific Academic Adviser. Instead, students are invited to receive advising from the professional advising staff in the Office of Academic Services’ Undergraduate Academic Advising Center. Our highly trained Advisers can assist students with a wide array of personal and academic concerns. Though not limited to this list, Advisers help students:
-
- Identify academic, personal, and professional goals
- Create a long range plan of study
- Investigate majors, LSMs, minors, and other academic programs of interest
- Plan for course registration
- Explore education abroad academic planning
- Address academic difficulties and review strategies for enhancing academic success
