Schedule an advising appointment

New and returning students can schedule an appointment with an advisor associated with their program and/or academic department. If you are a current student, make an appointment with your assigned advisor through Navigate during the formal registration period. If you do not have an assigned advisor or are seeking advising outside the formal registration period, browse advisors by area of study.

What do I need before seeing an advisor?

To be seen by an academic advisor, you must first:

Have your official transcripts sent to waivers@bucks.edu for review.
Have access to your Bucks student account.
Complete placement exams.
Have payment options prepared.

Also, please check that your program qualifies to be seen by an academic advisor. Some programs are assigned a special advisor and are not eligible.
