Dean of Students Office • 757-221-2510 • 757-221-2302 (TDD) • 109 Campus Center
The Office of the Dean of Students monitors the academic progress and social standing of all undergraduate students. The staff provides academic counseling related to college regulation and policy, and, when needed, makes referrals to related campus resources.

In addition, the staff members coordinate services for students with disabilities and provide study skills education to enhance academic effectiveness.

Academic Advising • 757-221-2476 • Ewell Hall
The academic advising program at William and Mary is intended to orient you to the requirements of the College, offer assistance with academic planning, and monitor progress toward graduation. Students are assigned to an advisor when they enter the College and when they declare an area of concentration.

Faculty Advisors • See Academic Advising If Advisor Is Unknown
These individuals are available to answer questions about scheduling, particular courses, career options in their concentration, and additional campus resources. It is recommended that a student visit with his/her advisor at least one time each semester. One of the goals for this meeting is to discuss course selection for the upcoming semester.

Professors • See Your Syllabus For Contact Information
Professors are available during scheduled office hours or by appointment to meet with a student and discuss progress in their course. These meetings can be very beneficial to a student's understanding of the requirements of the course and the specific expectations a professor may have of his/her students. This is an opportunity for clarification on evaluative measures for homework, projects, papers, and exams. Spending time with faculty outside of the classroom may also enhance a student's career plan and direction.
