Our general advisers help students plan and shape their undergraduate experience at the UW. In addition to assistance with tasks such as choosing a major and planning course schedules, advisers engage in a broader dialogue with individual students to better clarify their academic and personal goals.

Every undergraduate degree will look different. Generally, degrees are earned upon the successful completion of at least 180 college quarter credits distributed between General Education requirements, a major, electives and optional minors.

We are hiring UAA Peer Advisers for the 2025-2026 academic year! UAA Peer Advisers provide personalized in-person, virtual, and email advising to students, covering topics such as course selection, understanding academic policies and graduation requirements, and navigating resources at the UW.
