2.1 Academic Advising

Group and individual academic advising at CUNY School of Law is primarily the responsibility of Academic Affairs, which also organizes Faculty Advisors to provide academic mentorship to students. During course registration, Academic Affairs organizes group advising sessions to clarify graduation requirements and assist students in selecting courses. An Academic Advisor is also broadly available for individual advising when students are preparing for registration. Academic Affairs also administers a process to assign students Faculty Advisors, who mentor students and advise them on how to navigate the academic program to achieve their professional goals. Through this process, day and evening students will select a Faculty Advisor during their second semester in anticipation of registration. Finally, an Academic Advisor and the Academic Dean are available to students year-round for any and all academic questions that emerge and can meet individually with students for academic advising at any point.
