Academic Advising

At every stage in their academic careers, Albertus students benefit from experienced guidance in planning a course of study. Entering first-year and transfer students are advised by specially trained first-year academic advisors. 

Students formally declare a major after they have earned at least twelve credits and before they register for more than forty-five credits. At that point, a faculty advisor in the major, and a career counselor are added to the students’ academic success team. 

Students declare a major by logging into the MyAlbertus portal and clicking the declaration of major form under the Registrar tab.  Some programs such as Education and Nursing have a separate approval process. Contact these departments for additional information.

While students are required to see their academic advisor prior to registration each semester, they are also encouraged to seek advice whenever any questions or concerns may arise.
