National-Louis University Undergraduate Academic Advising Center
The Academic Advising Center serves all NLU undergraduate students. Our goal is to provide students with a clear path to graduation and to help you achieve success at NLU.
Academic Advisors can assist students with a variety of issues. The most common services to students are:
- Assisting in registering for courses
- Providing an understanding of requirements for graduation and developing a degree plan as a guide to complete your program
- Help in understanding the options available for earning credit towards your degree
- Providing guidance to university resources
- Explaining transfer credit and credit evaluations
You should plan to meet with your academic advisor regularly. Specifically, students in accelerated programs should meet with an advisor soon after starting at NLU to develop a degree plan and again as their program nears completion to discuss remaining requirements to complete. Students in traditional programs will need to meet with an advisor at least once a quarter to register for courses.
