The Advising Process

Academic Advising Support at St. Joseph’s University in Lancaster supports all students at the Lancaster location by providing advising and registration tools, resources, and planning. Undergraduate students are assigned a primary advisor in the Lancaster Advising Support Center, while Graduate students are assigned a faculty advisor within their program of study. Students can find their advisor's name and contact information by viewing their Student Profile in the Nest.

Through the advising process, we help students:

  • Manage their transition to Saint Joseph’s University
  • Develop an academic plan to complete program requirements for graduation
  • Assist students with interpreting and understanding academic policies, processes, and procedures
  • Equip students with the tools and resources that are available to help them succeed
  • Identify opportunities and services that will enrich their education
