Advisor Assignment

All MSU Students should be assigned an advisor. Check Student360 to view your advisor's information.

What is an Academic Advisor's Role?

Advisors ensure students are progressing through their curriculum requirements toward graduation. Advisors process academic forms, assist students with course selection, and release students for registration each semester. Advisors discuss career and educational prospects and serve as a guide for students to appropriate campus resources.
