Academic Advising

Your Advisor

Every undergraduate student is assigned an academic advisor to provide ongoing support and helps ensure academic success and timely graduation. The relationship between a student and his or her academic advisor is one of shared responsibility. While students are ultimately responsible for the choices they make in college, the University realizes that in order to make informed decisions, students need the mentoring and advice of academic advisors and others in the University community.

Academic advisors work with students to develop and execute educational plans that are aligned with the student’s personal and academic interests, goals, and career plans.

Academic advisors also help students choose (or change) majors, select and register in appropriate courses, get connected with academic support services such as tutoring and success coaching, explore study abroad options, and participate in career exploration through activities such as internships and undergraduate research experiences.

First Year Advising: 0 - 23 Credit Hours Completed

All incoming students who enter UNO having earned between 0 – 23 credit hours are assigned a First Year Academic Advisor (FYA). All first-year advisors are located in the Privateer Enrollment Center.

Students who are transferring to UNO from another institution or are returning to complete a college degree after taking a break having earned between 0 and 23 credit hours should meet with the appropriate first-year advisor.

College, Transfer, Early College, Guest and Stop-Out Advising: 24+ Credit Hours Completed

All continuing, transfer, and stop-out students who enter or re-enter UNO having earned at least 24 credit hours are assigned a college advisor. Non-degree seeking guest or early college students are also assigned a College Advisor, regardless of prior credits earned. College advisors are located in their respective college office.

Students who are transferring to UNO from another institution or who are returning to complete a college degree after taking a break having earned at least 24 credit hours should meet with the appropriate college advisor once they have been accepted. Transfer students who are still waiting on official acceptance but have questions may email or call the appropriate academic advisor but official documents must be received and processed to complete formal advising.

Guest of Early College Academy students should meet with the appropriate college advisor once they have been accepted and set up their UNO username and password. The advisor will assist them in course selection and provide any override permissions they need to enroll.
