Advising


Our advisors help students investigate courses of study and to declare and complete majors and minors in American Culture and our Ethnic Studies units.

Once you have declared a program of study in our department, we recommend that you meet with your advisor at least once a year to go over your individual course selections and ensure you will meet the program requirements.

You should also communicate with an advisor about any transfer credit questions.

We offer in-person, remote, and phone appointments. Please schedule your appointment through the link below and specify a preferred format for your meeting. If you are unable to keep your appointment time for any reason, please cancel your appointment using this system.

**American Culture and its Ethnic Studies Units do not offer regularly scheduled advising hours during the Spring and Summer sessions. However, we're happy to assist you with advising questions! Please email us at ac.inq@umich.edu with your question. 
Our advisor Scott Larson can also be reached at smlarson@umich.edu. Please allow extra time for inquires over this period. Regular advising hours will resume in Fall 2023.**

 


If you need additional assistance, please email us at ac.ug.services@umich.edu.
