Academic Advising

The Faculty of Forestry offers program and academic advising for all Forestry undergraduate students either by appointment or on a drop-in basis. We can provide you with information about your degree program and help make sure you are on track to graduate. We are also here to help guide you through the maze of academic rules and regulations.

If you are facing any medical, emotional, or personal circumstances that may negatively impact your academic performance, your Program Advisor can help by explaining your options and working with you to resolve the situation. It is in your best interest to meet with your Advisor or Program Director regularly, especially before any serious academic problems arise.
