Advising

Advising and Academic Services Center at CLAS

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) Advising & Academic Services Center at the University of Maine is a service for all CLAS students. Our advisors are available for everything from guidance in completing general education requirements to help in declaring a major, and we can offer additional lines of support, services and referrals for academic success. Though CLAS students with a declared major are expected to meet with their faculty advisor for their primary course advising, students who have not yet declared a major within CLAS will meet with one of our advisors for all academic advising.
