Faculty Resources

Academic Advising is here to help you with all facets of the advising process and to ensure you have what you need to successfully advise your students. Our office can assist you with degree evaluations, academic planning, graduation requirements (the Hamline Plan), the Piperline advising menu, as well as support for students on probation, referrals to other campus resources, and more.  

If you have questions or concerns regarding your advisees, please contact Academic Advising!
