Serving you throughout your Clark journey

The Academic Advising Center offers general academic services to help you plan your academic program. Work with us to explore majors — or to design your own; develop strategies to overcome academic difficulties; receive assistance around learning or special needs; evaluate transfer credits; and more.

In your first year at Clark, you will be assigned a faculty adviser to help you select your courses and programs. Once you declare your major, faculty within that academic department will coordinate your academic advising. However, you may continue to receive support from the Academic Advising Center. We are here for you.

please note:

Beginning March 23, academic advising appointments for course selection assistance will be held via email or Skype. Schedule meetings with Evette Walters, director, at calendly.com/ewalters, or Tyra Lewis, assistant director, at calendly.com/tlewis-aa.

There have been a number of changes to course registration, deadlines, classes, and academic policies, including a new Pass/Fail grading option this semester. Please visit Clark’s COVID-19 page for updates and more information, including Frequently Asked Questions about the Pass/Fail option.

Denis Larochelle, my pre-health adviser, has helped me stay on track with classes necessary for medical school. He is a great resource for any of my medical school questions.
