Welcome to the Academic Advising Center!
At the University of St. Francis, an academic advisor is available to every student who is seeking a degree. And so, academic advising becomes an on-going dialog between the advisor and student as the student pursues his or her journey of education and independence.
The Academic Advising Center provides service to students and faculty.
