Advisement

Curate Your Education
We’re Here to Help along the Way

SVA has developed a unique program of advisement designed to fit the needs of the student body.

Department-specific advisors can respond quickly and efficiently to each student’s particular needs and inquiries.

Academic Advisors can assist with the following:

  1. Course selection

  2. Registration

  3. Schedule changes

  4. Attendance problems

  5. Interruption of studies 

  1. Voluntary withdrawals

  2. Independent study proposals

  3. Transfer of credit

  4. Complaints concerning course and faculty members

Please find your department below to obtain your academic advisor’s contact information.


Please address emails to and your respective academic advisor. Include your name and your department in the message.


Note: We are working with a high volume of incoming messages and requests at this time and are responding to these in the order in which they are received during normal office hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET).


Thank you for your patience.
