Getting Started
All new freshmen entering Appalachian begin their academic careers in University College where they are provided academicadvising, supplemental instruction, disability services, and tutoring. Each new student is assigned an academic advisor to help your student choose the right classes, decide on a major, and understand academic policies. Academic Advisors can help struggling students get back on track or help connect them to the many campus resources and support services. Once a student declares a major, he or she will be advised by the college advisor.
