Advising Information

Freshman students and transient students (those not seeking a degree at UMHB) will be advised through the Center for Academic Excellence for their first semester's registration.  For all following registrations, freshman students who have declared a major will be advised by a faculty member in the department of their major and freshman students who are undecided about their major will be advised by their Freshman Seminar professor until they declare a major.  Bachelor of Professional Studies students and all other students who are undecided about their major will be advised by Dr. Kat Early (if last name begins with A-L), Dr. Edwin Armstrong (if last name begins with M-Z), or Carolyn Owens (if seeking post-baccalaureate teacher certification).  All additional students will be advised by a faculty member in the department of their major.
