At Villanova, advising is a multifaceted process that involves proactive participation, by both the student and his/her faculty advisor, in thoughtful dialogue to explore the student’s college experience and future vocation.

All students are assigned a faculty advisor prior to the beginning of their first academic year. Once a student has declared a major, he/she should have the same faculty advisor for the duration of his/her academic career.

All advisors in the College of Arts and Sciences have chosen the opportunity to work closely with students, to teach them the importance of knowing themselves and of life-long learning. Their vocation is teaching and advising is teaching. Your advisor is your opportunity to meet the future. For those times when you want a quick reference regarding your advisement questions, please see the Student Guide and/or Campus Resources.
