Academic Counseling

The Academic Counseling department advises undergraduate students about their academic interests, degree requirements, course registration and degree plans. We help students make meaning of their academic experiences and support the development of strong academic skills like time management, goal-setting, note-taking, habits and motivation.

The Academic Counseling team is available via virtual or in person meetings, or phone or email conversations.

What's Your Major?

College students get asked this question all the time. Many incoming students have specific ideas about their intended academic major. It is also perfectly fine for students to be undecided about their academic and career plans. St. Thomas offers more than 150 undergraduate academic majors and minors. The Academic Counseling team can help students understand the enrollment details associated with all of these academic programs.

Meet with an Academic Counselor

Current students are invited to meet with an academic counselor via a drop-in consultation or a scheduled appointment.

Drop-in consultations are approximately 10-15 minutes in length and are offered in virtual and in-person formats.

Many advising topics, like registration and degree planning, require more time and preparation than a 10-minute drop-in consultation. When this is the case, current students are invited to schedule an appointment with an academic counselor. 

To schedule an appointment with an Academic Counseling staff member, you may schedule a meeting in any of the following ways:

• Current UST students may use their self-scheduling link through OneStThomas →My Actions → My Tommie Support Team → Academic Support Team → Academic Counseling Meeting and then follow the prompts to schedule the type of meeting you want.
• You may call (651) 962-6300
• You may send an email to academiccounseling@stthomas.edu

Supporting Your Academic Success

Current students can find helpful resources in OneStThomas, such as accessing department tutors, finding research opportunities, or exploring possible career paths. Academic Counseling staff can help you get connected with an appropriate support department to help you on your academic journey.
