Academic Advising

Academic advisors are part of your support network and are here to help you navigate the term ahead. 

Advising efforts at Laurier extend beyond navigating progression requirements. Laurier’s advisors will support and enable you to create, refine and realize an academic plan that is informed by and aligned with your goals and aspirations.

Connecting With Your Advisor

You can reach out to your advisor, find their contact information and advising resources by selecing your campus, department and/or faculty on the Academic Advising page.

Track Your Academic Progress

You have access to MyDegree, an online course-planning and degree-progression platform that gives you the tools to plan and audit your pathway to graduation.
