About Us


The Office of Undergraduate Studies consists of the Assistant Dean, Associate Director, three experienced Assistant Directors who handle most of the day to day advising, a Program Coordinator and an administrative assistant. We do not assign specific advisors to each student so you are welcome to see whomever you choose or the first available advisor. Students have an Advisor of Record listed on your GPS but that is primarily for internal use and you are not obligated to meet with that person. It is preferred that students make appointments in advance using the online system, but we have at least one advisor on duty for drop-ins every day during normal working hours.

We are happy to answer simple questions over email, although we recommend you check the website first as it is a robust resource.  We do ask that you email only one advisor at a time. Our small office serves nearly 1,800 students and it is incredibly inefficient to have more than one advisor working to meet your needs.  Detailed questions are better addressed face to face when options can be considered and acted upon in real time.

The Mendoza Office of Undergraduate Studies is ready to assist our undergrads!
