Plan Your Degree
BA Advising for students
The BA Advising Centre offers academic advising services to new and returning students, to help you navigate your programs and plan for future terms. Book your appointments through our online booking system, with a range of advising options currently available: in person, telephone, email, and online video chat with Microsoft Teams meetings. Students can also email questions to advisors at BAadvising@smu.ca.
Academic Advising appointments are best used for questions about:
- degree progress and course planning for the next academic year;
- discussing and planning program options;
- students experiencing academic difficulty;
- students on probation or at risk of probation, suspension, or dismissal;
- discussing your goals, available skill-building opportunities, and planning next steps.
Meet your advisors
The BA Academic Advisors help students with course selection, as well as understanding program requirements, university processes and regulations, and the range of university services available. Every department also has faculty program advisors who are available to discuss course selection, research and potential career options.
