Academic Advising
The Clay Center at VSB seeks to provide you with exemplary academic resources
that enable you to be an active member of the VSB student body, to explore and
develop your educational and career goals, and to successfully apply your unique
talents and knowledge to become a socially-responsible member of the global
business community.
Undeclared Student AdvisingIn keeping with this goal, the Clay Center connects each incoming VSB freshman
with a
VSB Peer Counselor and a Clay Center Advisor. Freshmen are notified of
their assignments prior to meeting with their VSB Peer Counselors and Clay
Center Advisors during the Villanova University Orientation. VSB Peer Counselors
and Clay Center Advisors are available to provide guidance on course selection,
registration, curricular planning, and the general adjustment from high school
to college. VSB Peer Counselors and Clay Center Advisors are available to VSB
students all through the VSB experience—from orientation to graduation.

Major Advising
During their sophomore year, upon selection of their majors, VSB students are
encouraged to meet with a VSB Faculty Advisor in their area of study as an additional source of
help and information. VSB Faculty Advisors are available to provide guidance on
defining and reaching educational goals in a given field of study, as well as to
answer questions pertaining to curricular planning, study abroad opportunities,
and other academic options.

CAPP Degree Auditing
Curriculum, Advising, and Program Planning (CAPP) is a degree auditing tool that
offers you the ability to track your progress toward the completion of your degree. CAPP
compliance forms are available to both students and advisors through Novasis. CAPP
compares your current academic information with your degree requirements and indicates the remaining courses
required for degree completion. This tool can also perform a “What-If” function which checks
your academic record against the requirements for a new major within VSB and highlights the remaining courses.
