Academic Advising
We support prospective, current, and transfer students with guidance on classes, tutors, study abroad, and more. Our advisors provide one-on-one support to help you succeed.
Make an Appointment
The semester is coming to an end, and if you haven’t registered for Spring 2026, now is the perfect time to schedule your academic advisement appointment. Stop by Nistler Hall #101 for a drop-in visit, or set up a meeting with your advisor at a time that works for you.
We recommend meeting with your advisor at least once per semester to discuss course selection and academic planning, but advisors are available year-round. Whether you have questions about degree requirements, academic progress, university policies, or need guidance connecting with campus and community resources, your advisor is here to help.
The Office of Academic Advisement is located in Nistler Hall Room 101. Appointments can be scheduled online via Hawk Central or by calling our main office at 701.777.2975
- If you are uncertain as to who your advisor is, you can check in your Student Center on Campus Connection, on Hawk Central, or a staff member in our office can look up that information for you.
- We advise all students in the Nistler CoBPA, across 16 majors and a variety of minors, certificates, and tracks.
- If you know that you will not be able to keep an appointment, please cancel or reschedule at least two hours before your appointment.
- During registration periods (November/April), schedule your appointment at least two weeks before your registration date listed on Campus Connection. It is especially important that you attend your scheduled meeting due to limited availability.
