Academic advising
Please speak with our department's advisors for all questions concerning the anthropology program (registration, course offerings, research opportunities, careers in anthropology, etc.).
Students should consult advisors in the Tri-Faculty Advising Centre for questions related to graduation, CAPP reports, satisfying majors and minors in other departments, etc. They can also help with university policies and procedures.
