How to Find Your Academic Advisor

Advisors are assigned based on your chosen major.

1. Find your college

A college is a subdivision of the University. At the University of Idaho there are 10 colleges that offer degrees within a specific subject area. For example, the College of Engineering offers degree programs including: Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. The major you have chosen is within one of these colleges. Start by locating your college on the Advising Contact List.

2. Find your major

Once you have located your college, you should see your major below your college. For example, if your major is English, you will find that English is within the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences (CLASS) and is listed as a major under that college on the Advising Contact List.

3. Find your advisor

To the right of your major you will see the name, e-mail and phone number of the person you need to contact to be assigned an academic adviser.
