Crouse Center for Academic Advising

The Crouse Center for Academic Advising provides personalized advising and mentoring to guide on-campus undergraduate students on their path to a successful academic experience at Aurora University. From your first day at AU, your dedicated academic advisor is here to support you in making informed decisions about your academic journey, connecting you with campus resources, and helping you to reach your goals.

Your advisor is a valuable resource in assisting you to:

• Creating Your Personalized Degree Plan at Aurora University: Together, you and your advisor will develop a clear and efficient plan for completing your degree, including course selection, understanding major and minor requirements, and staying on track for graduation. All students walk away from their first appointment with an advisor with an academic plan, start to finish.
• Exploring Majors and Career Goals with Your Advisor: Advisors help you consider various academic interests and potential career paths, enabling you to choose or change majors or minors that best align with your goals. If you are pursuing a pre-professional program, your advisor can help you research graduate programs and ensure you have the correct pre-requisite courses.
• Accessing Campus Resources through Academic Advising: Academic advisors can connect you with tutoring, internship and career services, campus life, and other resources that enrich your academic and personal development. Think of your advisor as your point person helping you get settled into AU!
• Supporting Your Success: Whether you need guidance in time management, goal setting, or overcoming academic challenges, your advisor is available to help you succeed at AU.
