Advising

CALS Academic Advising offers guidance, resources and opportunities to help you succeed.

Schedule an Appointment 

Own Your Education

As a CALS student, you will have a personal advisor (listed on the Degree Audit) who can help you maintain balance and keep your studies on track.

We advise students to contact their advisor whenever they have a question or concern about their academic progress, want to know more about programs or opportunities in CALS, or need advice on college life.

Your personal advisor is here to:

  • Guide you in majors selection and career development
  • Answer questions and give advice on academic matters
  • Share internship and research opportunities
  • Help you understand life at NC State
