Advising & Degree Completion Planning

Advising

The Fisher College of Science and Mathematics is committed to helping students succeed and graduate in their chosen major. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who will not only assist you in planning what classes to take but will also take an active role in providing career planning.

Students are not able to register without first seeing their adviser who will remove their advising hold. Students should be familiar with and able to use your Online Services account.

If you are a student who does not have questions, concerns, or a hold on your account, it is still recommended that you meet with your advisor, at least once per semester, to ensure you are on the right track.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your advisor’s name and contact information can be found by logging into Towson Online Services Student Dashboard, then clicking on Academics and then on Advisor Information. You can also find your advisor’s name, contact information, and schedule appointments with your advisor by logging into SSC Campus Advising.

If you need guidance that pertains to your classes, your major, your career or your wellbeing, you should meet with your advisor.  It is a good idea to make a note of your questions, prior to your advising appointment.  This will help you to not forget questions which will allow all of your concerns to be addressed, during your advising session.
