BA Advising Centre
Book an Appointment
BA Academic Advisors are experienced in helping students navigate their academic journey in the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Environmental Studies degree programs. We recommend that you visit a BA Academic Advisor at least once a year to make sure you're on track to meet your educational goals.
The BA Advising Centre offers a blend of in-person and virtual services for students. Both in-person and virtual appointments must be booked online. Appointments are approximately 20 minutes long and can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance.
Students intending to complete a major, double major, honours, concentration or minor in psychology should book with the Psychology Academic Advising appointment option below. Students in all other programs should book with the Arts Academic Advising option.
