Meet Your Adviser
USF advisers will assist you with course and program selection, the development of goals, the learning process, and the navigation of campus and community resources. Successful advising is a collaboration between you and your adviser.
It is important that you see your adviser at least once every semester, especially during your first year at the university. Students should prepare before each advising appointment by preparing questions and reviewing their degree audit.
To schedule an appointment with your adviser, please use the eScheduler. For non USF students, you can schedule an appointment here.
