Important Contacts for Undergraduate Students

We know that taking classes remotely and only coming to campus for essential learning activities is challenging. That's why we created this list of important contacts for the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) undergraduate students. Connect with the correct faculty or staff member to get academic and career advising,  join a student organization, or learn program-specific information.

Undergraduate Advising for the College of Health & Human Services is done through the CHHS Advising Center. The Advising Center can help with:

  • Exploring and declaring majors and minors​
  • Providing General Education and major advising​
  • Assisting with course registration, scheduling and graduating planning
  • Helping with academic policies and processes
  • Connecting to campus resources
