Academic advising is a crucial component of the educational mission of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University. The key to effective advising is to provide a professional and moral environment which will provide the student academic success and professional accomplishment. Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between advisors and advisees for the purpose of strengthening knowledge and abilities in establishing academic and career goals while meeting university requirements.
The mission of the Office of Advising is to provide academic advising and support services to assist and retain students within and beyond the freshman year and ensure that they are adequately equipped with the resources necessary for their success.
We provide academic advising to all first year and first time students at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University. We assist with scheduling classes, tracking and maintaining appropriate curriculum plan progression and providing general support and guidance throughout our students’ matriculation.
