Graduate and Professional Student Academic Advising

Academic Advising for Graduate and Professional Students

At Regis College, we find academic advising plays an essential role in the experience of all our students. Graduate and professional student advising is a partnership between the student, the faculty advisor and the Graduate Student Affairs team. We all work in concert to help the student identify and achieve short and long term educational and career goals. The objective being to empower students to identify resources to solve problems independently while providing a supportive environment.

Our Advising Model

Each graduate or professional student at Regis is assigned a faculty member, academic program director, or professional advisor dedicated to addressing academic student needs and questions. In addition, the Assistant Dean of Graduate Advising and Student Affairs, and the Director of Graduate Career Planning help students transition to the graduate and professional student experience, and access the variety of resources available to them.

Advising Information

For questions about curriculum/specialty courses and/or program content, students should contact faculty members according to program of study.

Students can find out who their advisor is under the “My Success Network” tab on Starfish, or by checking Regis Hub -> Student Planning -> Plan your Degree and Register for Classes -> Advising (tab).
