Harpur Academic Advising

Harpur Academic Advising is home to general academic advising for Harpur College undergraduate students, as well as Pre-Health and Pre-Law Advising. A Harpur student's advising team is made up of both Harpur Academic Advising for general advising, and faculty/departmental advisor(s) for in-depth and specialized major planning. From Orientation to Commencement and beyond, we are here to help our students make informed decisions, understand academic policies, prepare for post-graduation opportunities, and connect our students with valuable campus resources that offer academic and personal support.

Harpur Academic Advising supports our students with empathy and informed advice, while challenging them to explore their academic, personal, and professional goals through a liberal arts education that fosters the development of critical awareness and personal responsibility.
