Academic Advising
Academic advisors within the Office of Academic Affairs collaborate with members of the faculty, studio instructors, department chairs, and other administrators and staff members to provide opportunities for advising across departments and throughout the academic year.
They help students explore majors and minors, register for courses, set professional goals, identify co-curricular opportunities that foster growth, and connect with additional support services.
Current and incoming students have access to the Student Resources website — a regularly updated “one-stop-shop” repository of answers, guides, and reminders for all things pertaining to life at NEC.

Find Your Advisor
Current students may contact the advisor for their major by email or stop by the advising office at 224 St. Botolph. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hours may differ during the summer.
Prospective students are encouraged to direct their questions about the academic program to New England Conservatory’s Office of Admissions, where admissions counselors are available to provide answers and assistance.
