Support for Your Academic Journey
Dedicated, Experienced, and Caring Advisors
Pre-Major Advisor
In your first year, you'll be paired with a pre-major advisor based on your interests. Your advisor will help you think strategically about your long-term academic plans and encourage you to explore the many options at Boston College—from study abroad to research grants, internships, and more.
Major Advisor
Once you declare a major in your sophomore year, you'll receive a major advisor. This advisor will serve as your primary resource throughout your time at Boston College, helping you meet graduation requirements and guiding you through selecting classes in your major and in our Core Curriculum.
What is Navigate?
Navigate, Boston College’s Student Success Platform, is available across campus with services that include early alert and progress reporting, academic reporting for student-athletes, and scheduling appointments and tutoring for select offices.

Our Distinguished Mentors
Akua Sarr
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs
Academic advising should be more than just meeting with a faculty member to select classes. At Boston College, we take a different approach to ensure that our students have an opportunity to develop relationships with faculty mentors.
