Departmental Academic Advising
Do you have questions about your BMPD degree path? See Pam Lamba, departmental advisor, to discuss specific concerns about your BMPD degree—including major/minor, academic difficulties, exchange opportunities, and graduation requirements. Connect via email or in-person
By email. Please use your Carleton account and include your student number. Normal response time is 2-3 business days, and longer during peak times such as registration.
In-person: Departmental advising appointments are done on a walk-in basis Monday-Friday between 1pm-4pm. Please visit us in Richcraft Hall, room 4301A.
General Academic Advising
Students with questions that are not specific to the BMPD program should see a general advisor in the Academic Advising office.
If you are experiencing academic difficulties, a general advisor can assist you to put together a plan to get back on track. They can also help if you have questions about reading your audit, choosing degree elements, and understanding academic regulations or the Academic Performance Evaluation.
Connect via email, phone or in person in order to discuss your academic plan. Contact information for general academic advising can be found here.
