Academic Advising and Support
Understanding Your Academic Audit
The Academic Audit is your roadmap to your Undergraduate Law program. The audit provides you with a snapshot of your progress and how to stay on track to meet your graduation goals.
Learn How to Read Your Audit
Regularly reviewing your audit will help you stay on track. You can learn how to read your audit using the Academic Advising Centre’s Academic Audit resources: Academic Audits and How to Read Your Audit.
Academic Advising
Students can receive advising for their program via the Department’s Undergraduate Administrator, or for their overall degree via the Academic Advising Centre. Find out more about these services below.
Undergraduate Law Program Advising
The Undergraduate Administrator (your program advisor) helps students understand the following program related topics:
- Audit Review
