Milton Advising

All Milton campus students are registered in Faculty of Science programs. Faculty of Science undergraduate academic advising is available to help you navigate your academic journey from acceptance of your program offer through to graduation.

This advising may include, but is not limited to:

  • clarifying academic goals
  • degree program requirements
  • course planning
  • GPA and progression requirements
  • explaining academic procedures, policies, and regulations
  • general academic difficulties, including those who have extenuating personal circumstances that are impacting their academic performance
  • recommending appropriate campus resources

We are committed to providing high-quality, inclusive, comfortable, and confidential academic support to undergraduate students. Regular contact with an academic advisor is recommended and encouraged!

Who are My Academic Advisors?

The Science academic advising team on the Waterloo campus provides general academic support to all Faculty of Science students. As a first-year student, your academic advisor, Dan Taylor, is your primary contact for academic information.

Department undergraduate officers are experts in their discipline and program/course content. They are the primary contact for senior (Year 2+) students.
