For Students

Find My Academic Advisor

Academic advisors across the St. Petersburg campus are ready to support students in their academic planning and degree attainment.

  • New Bulls (New First Year & Transfer Students): Whether you are starting in the summer or the fall, we want to have your course schedule ready for you before you attend summer orientation! Depending on your academic program, your advisor may reach out to you directly to schedule a meeting or may ask you to complete an in-take form in advance of your meeting. In any case, you should get information on next steps no later than May 1, 2025 - this will allow our advising team sufficient time to get your schedule ready before you attend your summer orientation. 

  • Continuing Students: Please visit Archivum appointment scheduling to schedule an appointment or to access the virtual drop-in portal for your academic college (Appointment and drop-in availability varies by locations, listed below).
