MENTORS AND ADVISORS
As you actively explore the university, engaging with an academic advisor will help you navigate your way to graduation. Academic
advisors will assist you in reaching your educational goals. Peer mentors will support you as you connect to resources that enhance your
undergraduate experience. We’re committed to your success. admissions.utah.edu/mentor
Academic Advising Center
We can help you explore majors, research pre-professional areas (e.g. law or medicine), and answer questions about general education,
campus resources, and academic policies. Since it’s important to have an academic plan, students are required to see an advisor during
their first semester. advising.utah.edu
