Summer Advising

Summer Advising is a half-day program where you will have the opportunity to meet classmates and orientation leaders, establish your first semester class schedule, and receive your email address and campus mailbox. Representatives from various aspects of campus life, such as Student Activities, Information Technology, the Bookstore, Athletics, and Health Services, will be available for your visit.

Students, and families are welcome. Please note that students complete your course registration process while parents attend a separate session. For this reason, we encourage students and their parents to have a discussion about academic issues before arriving.

Summer Advising is the perfect occasion to help you get in the mindset of the college experience. We'll even practice saying "Anselmian."

Additional information about summer advising (including copies of all forms) can be found on the MyAnselm portal.
