Freshman Academic Advising Services

For continuously enrolled FAU students

If you are an FAU student majoring in one of the College of Education degree programs, you are welcome to set up an appointment for advising in the Office for Academic and Student Services (OASS) located on the Boca Raton, Davie, MacArthur, and Treasure Coast campuses. Advisors in OASS typically work with students as they progress towards meeting the admission requirements of their program. Teacher education majors must complete 60 semester hours with an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.5, and pass all sections of the CLAST test for formal admittance to take place. At that point, students are assigned a faculty member in their major department to act as their faculty advisor for the remainder of the degree program. Exercise Science and Health Promotion majors also have specific admission criteria including an overall 2.0 GPA and completion of the CLAST or clearance of a CLAST alternative assessment. Faculty advisors are also assigned in that major in order to plan out the requirements for graduation

If you have met the admission requirements and have not yet been referred to your faculty advisor, contact OASS.

If you are considering a change of major to one of the College of Education degree programs, you are welcome to make an appointment with an advisor. It is requested that you provide a copy of your transcript at that meeting.

For returning or prospective students

Contact an advisor on your campus to discuss your specific situation. OASS will be happy to assist or to refer you to the appropriate area.
