Ad-vise-ment

-noun
A process that you - as a student - undertake with advisors and faculty, to tap into the myriad resources provided to you as you take advantage of being a student at NYU. The advisement process begins with the selection of your first semester courses, where you will start to construct your academic plans to achieve career and life goals. Advisement continues as you progress to your degree completion.

Advisors in your school - both faculty and staff - are experts in their chosen profession, ready to help you navigate your academic life. The Advisement Web site is designed to inform you of many of the resources available to you that will help you make the most of your advisement process. Here, you will be able to explore your school’s advisement model - designed to meet the unique needs of your academic plans, as well as find both school-based and University-wide links to resources you may not have discovered yet.
