Graduate Academic Advising
The SCS graduate programs staff is available to assist you throughout your education at Northwestern University. We encourage you to take full advantage of our help in:
- selecting your courses
- identifying NU resources that can augment your studies
- planning for your capstone project
- considering an internship opportunity (where available)
An advising meeting is encouraged for new students, either on the phone, via email, or in-person. At this first meeting, we will review your course options for the term, with an eye toward creating a plan for your entire academic career at NU.
Follow-up advising meetings are recommended at these milestones:
- about 1/3 through your curriculum
- at the start of the academic year in which you expect to graduate
- before registering for your capstone (thesis) project
