Academic Advising

Here to guide and support

Ready to apply to UNI? Or enrolled and figuring out your plan of study? You’ll find a combination of professional and faculty advisors ready to answer questions and provide the guidance you need.

College of Education majors can turn to the professional advisors within the College of Education Advising & Teacher Education Success (CATS) Office.
Secondary teaching majors work with college-based faculty and staff advisors for general advising assistance related to your core academic emphasis.

Role of Your Advisor

Whether working with a professional or faculty advisor, each shares the goal of providing comprehensive support and guidance throughout your journey in UNI Teacher Education. You can expect your assigned advisor to help you:

create a long-term academic plan
talk through career options
declare a major or minor
plan your semester schedule
track progress toward your degree
connect with campus resources
achieve your educational goals

If you are an early childhood, elementary education or middle level education dual major, you will work with the advisors in the College of Education Advising and Teacher Education Success (CATS) Office.

If you are a secondary education major (including middle level science education dual major), you will work with faculty advisors in the college that supports your teaching major, including:

College of Humanities, Arts & Sciences
College of Social & Behavioral Sciences
Wilson College of Business

If you are a transfer student, you will connect with advisors in one of the four colleges associated with your teaching major.
