The Advising Center helps students plan their academic careers, from course selection to graduation requirements. The Center can also assist with decisions involving choosing or changing majors, and with strategies for remaining in good academic standing.
Spring 2020 Course Advising and Registration - Day School
Students are asked to come to the Advising Center, which is located in O'Connor Hall, to arrange appointments. Dr. Chris Gregory, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Director of Advising, encourages e-mail inquiries regarding advising. You may e-mail Dr. Gregory, Erin Coughlin-Doherty, or Joe McCaul, Academic Advisors, at advising@framingham.edu
For further questions please visit The Advising Center, which is located in O'Connor Hall Room 111, or call us at (508) 626-4540.
Advising
Advising
Advising is often equated with course registration twice a year, but there can be a lot more to this relationship than just a PIN. The advisor is one more person who can serve as a mentor and help you know your options in and out of the classroom.
The Advising Center works with faculty advisors across campus to provide support and guidance to all our students.
Placement Testing
Placement Testing
FSU offers placement testing to assess a student's abilities in certain subject areas which then helps determine appropriate course levels. We offer testing in Mathematics, Writing, and in the languages of Chinese, French, and Spanish.
PLUS Program
PLUS Program
The Pathways Leading to Undergraduate Success (PLUS) Program serves students who meet certain income guidelines and/or identify as first-generation college students. Each year, students are invited to participate in this program which offers specialized advising, peer mentors, and workshops to help start you on the right path.
