Academic Advising Centre
The Academic Advising Centre (AAC) serves prospective, first-year, undeclared, as well as students transitioning between programs at the undergraduate level. We are committed to helping undergraduate students at Memorial University develop an academic plan to realize personal and academic goals, identify resources that will have a positive impact on their university experience and facilitate a successful transition to the university.
The AAC approaches advising from a collaborative standpoint where both students and advisors share responsibility in the advising process. Our advisors aim to provide the guidance students need to unlock their full academic potential and to empower students to be the final decision makers of their own academic journey. At our core, our primary focus is student success.
What we do
The AAC:
- provides individualized academic advice by appointment and drop-in service;
- compiles sample first-year program information and course descriptions in First Year Information;
- organizes the Program Exploration Learning Series.
Our Advising Syllabus provides more detail on how we can support you on your academic journey at Memorial.
