Advising & student resources
Whether pursuing internships or registering for classes, students can turn to their advisors for help. Advisors refer students to appropriate on- and off-campus resources, assist in academic planning, and provide career development support.
New students are assigned an advisor upon admission to IUPUI and the School of Science.
