Advisors

At Barry University, advising students is a responsibility shared by faculty. Advisors perform dual functions. On the one hand, they counsel students on what courses to take so that students can progress toward completion of their degrees. On the other hand, advisors are guides and mentors to students who are often unsure of their life goals, their academic abilities, or their career preferences. Academic advisors are assigned by the dean of the school in which the student’s major is housed. Advisors meet with students periodically to plan the academic program and evaluate progress. Registration forms must have the advisor’s signature before being processed each semester.
