Advisor Info

How to Change Your Advisor

From time to time, students need to change their faculty advisor. Students can change their advisor anytime after their first semester on campus. 

When selecting a new advisor, there are a few things to consider:

  • What faculty do you connect with?
  • What are the faculty members' areas of expertise? Does this align with your long-term goals?

It is recommended that you review the faculty member’s profile and set up a time to connect with the faculty member, via email or in person, to formally ask them to be your advisor. Please note that not all faculty advise. 

Once you have connected with a new advisor, complete the Change of Advisor form. This may take a few days to process and you will get an email confirming that your advisor has been updated. 


Please contact advise@snc.edu with any questions regarding making advisor changes. We can assist you in identifying possible new advisors. Please note, advisors are not automatically updated when students change their major.
