Welcome to the Academic Advising Center!
The Academic Advising Center is one of the many resources at Queens College committed to providing an educational environment focused on student success.
Our mission is to provide centralized and integrated academic advising to incoming, current and returning undergraduate students through the articulation and navigation of degree requirements in order to foster successful completion of the baccalaureate degree. The Center serves as a bridge between the College and the student body by ensuring clarity, uniformity, and accessibility of academic requirements, policy, and procedural information. With a student-centered and proactive approach, the Center tailors services to meet the educational needs of all undergraduates at the College from new student enrollment through persistence and planning for timely graduation.
