The Mission Statement of the University expresses the commitment to offer students the best education available. An essential component of this is the advising process. Academic advising takes place in many ways and locations at McGill, so it is important that you learn about the different Types of Advising and Advisors and how they can help you reach your goals. You should also consult the advising information provided on your Faculty's website (Contact Information for Faculty & School Student Affairs Offices) and on the Academic Advising website.
