Academic Advising
Academic Advising provides comprehensive academic guidance across all the years of your undergraduate career. From the summer before you begin your Stanford journey through graduation, Academic Advising is here for you.
Academic Advisors
Every student is assigned an Academic Advisor at the start of the new school year. Academic Advisors are there to support students with the confusing things about Stanford as you decide a major and navigate fulfilling course requirements to graduate but are also there to chat with students about how the school year is going and answer any questions that might arise throughout the year.
Additional Resources
Academic Skills Coaching
Academic Coaches help you tackle challenges like time management and procrastination, as well as preparing for exams and managing anxiety that comes with taking an exam. Academic Coaches work one-on-one with you to help you improve your academic strategies, suggest changes to your approach, find school/life balance, and provide encouragement as you implement new ways of learning. Academic Coaches work with all Stanford students at all stages of their academic careers, including undergraduates, graduate students, and professional students, as well as post-docs. If you’re interested in making an appointment with an Academic Coach, check out their website for more information and how to apply, visit here.
