Academic Advising

Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between a student and an academic advisor. Academic advising is available to all Faculty of Science students.

Regular contact with an academic advisor, individuals who can assist you with developing and achieving meaningful educational and career goals, is recommended.

Connecting with Advising

Health Sciences Students

  • We strongly encourage students enrolling in Year 1 of the Health Sciences program to take advantage of individual counselling and information sessions held each year during the Laurier 101 program.
  • All academic advising and registration inquiries must be submitted using two separate forms which can be found under “Frequently Used Forms” on the Science Academic Advising page.
  • These forms will direct you to resources to help with your query and will put you in touch with the appropriate person or office at Laurier to assist you.

Paramedicine Students

If you have questions about your program or course selection, you can connect using these two options: 

  • Email paramedicineadvising@wlu.ca. Your email will be responded to within three business days.
  • Online appointments with Lori are available via Microsoft Teams, Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. EST, and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST
    • To schedule an appointment, complete the Faculty of Science Academic Advising Inquiry form. You will be sent an email to select a day and time to meet. 
    • We recognize that given your shift work, you may not be available to meet during these times, in which case we will work together to find an alternate time to meet. 

Program Checklists

You are strongly encouraged to use the program checklists to track your progress through each year of your program and ensure you meet all program requirements to graduate: 

Make sure you complete the document fully and bring it with you to your advising appointment.

All the information on the program checklists is available in accessible format under Progression Requirements.
