First-Year Advising

What We Do

Welcome to the First-Year Advising Office (FYA) website. Our office provides academic advising for all first-year students and any student still exploring majors. Our website is filled with the information and tools you need to explore 老澳门资料's offerings and access important resources. We hope this site will be your road map to a successful transition to the University.

 

Welcome New Ospreys!

Below are a few things to do before attending your orientation.
  • Review the First-Year Advising Guide below
