The Faculty of Arts provides academic advising resources to support Bachelor of Arts students throughout their degree.
The Academic Advisors, front counter and phone staff of Arts Academic Advising are available to assist undergraduate students in their academic planning; provide degree, program, course, and registration advice; interpret and administer Faculty and University regulations; and consider requests for academic concession and letters of permission. Arts Academic Advising also assists students in connecting with appropriate support resources, both academic and non-academic, and provides information and advice about degree, promotion, continuation, and graduation requirements.
Students should consult the Arts Advising website for location, hours of operation, and contact information.
Departmental advisors offer assistance related to the student’s specialized area of study in their department (honours, major, and minor programs). They can address questions related to their specialization’s requirements, courses, and internal functions such as waiting lists. They also determine if unassigned transfer credits may be applied to specialization requirements, and consider requests for course registration approval.
Bachelor of Arts students seeking information about admission to or continuation in other degree programs in the Faculty of Arts should speak with Arts Academic Advising or the Departmental Advisor in the desired program. Students seeking such information for Faculties other than Arts should contact the respective Faculty directly for information. Students registered in another Faculty who wish to complete a specialization in Arts should consult their home Faculty’s undergraduate advising office and the Departmental Advisor in the desired program area, preferably prior to registration.
