Office of Academic Advising
The Office of Academic Advising supports and supplements Skidmore's faculty-based academic advising model. We help students understand their academic degree requirements, timeline to graduation, and the College’s academic policies and procedures.
We guide students toward graduation while making the most of their educational experience. Our academic advisors are committed to fostering strong academic standards while offering academic support and guidance to all students.
The Office also oversees Personal/Medical Leaves of Absence.
Advisors are also involved in many of the faculty's academic processes and committees and offer assistance in developing and implementing academic policies, curricular goals, and advising resources.
