Academic Advisors
Professional Academic Advisors are here to answer questions, help solve problems, and support every step of the way on the educational journey. All undergraduate students have an academic advisor assigned through their academic department. Before registering for classes, make an appointment to talk through plans with an academic advisor.
Our academic advisors aid in the:
- Development of educational plans
- Assistance of career and life goals
- Selection of appropriate classes and other educational internships or coop experiences
- Clarification of institutional requirements
- Development of student awareness about educational resources available (e.g., scholarships, internships, study abroad, and honors)
- Assessment of student progress toward established goals
- Growth of decision making skills
- Referral to and use of institutional support services
Academic advisors help students to identify and assess their options and notify students of possible effects and consequences of actions that can be taken. The responsibility of making those decisions about educational and professional goals rests solely with the student as outlined in the Academic Advising Expectations.

Faculty mentors, experts in their field, are available to help mentor in pursuing intellectual interests, identifying opportunities in internships and research, and navigating subfields within the academic discipline.

Professional Advisor
Use Hawk Central to schedule an appointment with your professional advisor. If you click on the advisor’s
name in the online Faculty and Staff Directory, the advisor’s contact and office information will be displayed.
Faculty Mentor
You may not be able to use Hawk Central to schedule an appointment with your faculty mentor. If you click on the faculty member’s name in the online Faculty and Staff Directory, the professor’s office location, email and office phone, as well as the department phone, will be displayed. You can connect with your faculty mentor by any of these methods.
If you change majors, your primary advisor will change unless your primary advisor happens to be responsible for both your old and new departments. Your faculty mentor will also change because professors only advise students in their departments. If you add a second major, you will be assigned a support advisor and faculty mentor whom you should consult for help with that major.
Your professional advisor will not change unless you change majors. You may choose a different faculty mentor through emailing the College of Engineering and Mines general advising inbox at UND.CEM.Advising@UND.edu.
Students often select a faculty mentor based on their experience with a professor in coursework or on that professor’s area of academic specialization.
