How Undergraduate Advising Works at UMass Boston

Advising helps you to find the right program, choose the courses you want and need to take, stay on track to graduate, and get ready for a successful career. Meeting with your advisor will make your academic journey easier.

At UMass Boston, undergraduates who haven't declared a major meet with advisors in Academic & Career Engagement & Success (ACES). Undergraduates who have declared a major receive advising through their college. Management majors continue with ACES advising until they reach 60 credits then move to College of Management advising. Students may also work with other areas including Student Support Services, the Honors College, Asian American Resource Office and the International Students and Scholars Office.

Our Promise, Your Journey

Advising works best as a collaborative experience. The Office for Advising Excellence at UMass Boston is committed to empowering students and advisors across campus. Students can access advising connections, academic resources, and tools needed to both define their goals and achieve them. Additionally, advisor professional development, training, and necessary resources will enable advisors to provide the highest level of support to students.
