University Support Offices: Academic and Personal

Instructional Support The individual schools and colleges (e.g. LSA, Engineering) have offices to help students select and maintain an appropriate academic program. These offices are open throughout the year and students should be encouraged to meet with a counselor both on a routine basis and whenever an academic problem arises.
