Undergraduate Academic Advising Center

The mission of the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center (UAAC) is to ensure that informed, effective, and easily accessible academic advising, which addresses individual needs and interests, is available to every undergraduate student at Towson University. The Academic Advising Center coordinates advising at Towson University, maintaining a staff of professional advisers and working with academic departments to recruit faculty for the First-Year Experience (FYE) program.

If you are a freshman, you will participate in FYE, a year-long program to orient you to the university and its resources, enhancing your educational experience. Your adviser will be a professional adviser, professional Student Affairs staff member, or a faculty member who has completed the Faculty Institute in Advising. That FYE adviser will be assigned to you for the year.

If you are not a freshman, you will participate in the Academic Advising Program, and your adviser will be a professional adviser (open majors) or a faculty adviser in your major field.

You will need to declare a major by the time you accrue 60 units.
