The Arts Undergraduate Office (AUO) is your first point of contact for academic support throughout your undergraduate career as an Arts student. Within the AUO there are academic advisors, Associate Deans, and administrative staff who are here to help.
Our academic advising team can assist you in many different ways, such as providing academic support and exploring campus resources, in a friendly and confidential environment.
If you are registered in another program, or have declared an Arts major, you will have a program/major advisor available for academic guidance and support outside the AUO.
