The College of Agriculture takes pride in high-quality academic advising. For your first year, you will be assigned an advisor; then you will transition to an advisor in your department.

To locate your advisor, log in to MyInfo and access DegreeWorks. If no advisor is listed, reach out to the Advising Center at agadvising@montana.edu or 406-994-3686.

Your advisor is your resource for course planning, degree questions and important academic forms, such as change of curriculum and add/drop.
