Academic Advising

A student entering HSU for the first time is assigned to a professional advisor located in the Academic Advising Center. Advisors register all new students for their first semester and then assist with course selections for subsequent semesters making sure students are progressing in their degree plan.

All students are required to confer with their academic advisor and plan an approved schedule before registration.

HSU’s Advising Mission Statement
The advising program guides students in the development of meaningful educational plans compatible with a student’s personal values, life goals and career plans for a life of Christian service and leadership. Committed to providing students the information, resources, and assistance needed to accomplish these goals, HSU recognizes that ultimately the responsibility for making decisions about educational plans rests with the student.

Students who are undeclared majors are academically counseled and mentored through the Advising Center. The staff utilizes advising strategies to identify an appropriate academic path in relation to each student’s personal goals and interests. The Center works closely with various other offices on campus such as Career Services in an effort to facilitate a positive and productive academic experience for the students being served. The Advising Center is located on the first floor of the Sandefer Memorial Building.
