Advising Information

Freshman students, transient students (those not seeking a degree at UMHB), and students who are undecided about their major will be advised in the Center for Academic Excellence.  Bachelor of Professional Studies students will be advised by Dr. Kat Early (if last name begins with A-L), Dr. Edwin Armstrong (if last name begins with M-Z) or Carolyn Owens (if seeking post-baccalaureate teacher certification).  All other students will be advised by a faculty member in the department of their major.
