All members of the HHS Advising Team are generalists who can assist students with general questions about majors within the college. The advising team also advises students in academic difficulty and assists students with course or university withdrawals, reviews degree progress reports, and provides general assistance to students seeking information about the majors in the college or needing referrals to other campus resources. Remember to bring a copy of your current Degree Progress Report (long version) to each advising session.
