Academic Advising
Students are assigned an academic advisor upon enrollment. Academic advisors support and guide students as they progress through their chosen undergraduate studies at the university. Academic advising is a valuable service PU provides to its students; however, students should be familiar with university procedures and requirements. Therefore, students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor whenever they need guidance in fulfilling their obligations and goals.
The Academic Advisor meets regularly with students face-to-face, via Zoom or through other means of remote conferencing. The goal is to assist with goal setting and staying on track to successfully complete degree requirements. Students receive the individual attention needed to succeed academically and focus on their educational achievement and growth. Advisors are available during office hours, by phone, email or zoom, and respond to student messages the next business day.
