How We Can Help

We are involved with students from recruitment, orientation, and academic advising, through degree-conferral. The Office of Student Affairs also includes the CPH Office of Admissions, which offers information sessions to prospective students, processes applications to graduate programs and the BSN nursing program, and answers questions from prospective students. 

Academic advisors in the Office of Student Affairs support students in their transition to Mason; connect them to campus resources and involvement opportunities; teach students to engage in a process of self-reflection, guiding them to find degree pathways that match their interests, skills, and abilities; help students function successfully within the university; and assist students in developing and pursuing academic and professional goals.
