Undergraduate Advising

group - Academic Advisers

The Undergraduate Programs Office in Paul College has a team of advisors that focus on encouraging and supporting students to discover and explore their interests both academically and personally during their time at UNH. Through a student centered approach, advisors can help students choose a major, develop an academic plan, study abroad, navigate challenges and advance towards graduation in a timely manner. Undergraduates are also encouraged to develop an advisory relationship with one or more faculty members with whom they have mutual interests. All students are urged to seek as much assistance as they need, but are reminded that it is their ultimate responsibility for knowing and meeting the various academic requirements for a degree.

Upon entrance to Paul College, students are assigned to an academic advisor that will work with them throughout their time at UNH. To find out who your academic advisor is, please log into MyWildcatSuccess.

Our Responsibility to You

  • To help you explore your interests/goals and relate them to academic majors.
  • To clarify university policies, procedures and regulations.
  • To discuss your academic performance and opportunities that interest you.
  • To refer you to appropriate support services within the university, when needed.
  • To challenge you to think outside the box and explore new things.
