Advising & Academic Support

Academic advising extends the mentoring relationship between students and faculty, as they work together to plan a meaningful learning experience at PAFA.

All students have a faculty advisor in their program. Advisors work individually with their advisees each semester to discuss their interests and goals and to build a full schedule of classes and critics.

Students must meet with their academic advisor prior to the day of registration. Students should bring their registration roster signed by the student and their academic advisor.

PAFA is committed to assuring equal educational opportunity and full participation for all students. Disclosure of a disability is voluntary, and a student’s responsibility. A student with a documented disability may be eligible to receive assistance through the Office of Student Services. Eligibility for reasonable accommodations is determined on a case-by-case basis after comprehensive documentation is reviewed.

Documentation must be current (within the last 3 years) and directly submitted by a qualified practitioner who is not related to the student. It must consist of a comprehensive assessment and include evidence of substantial impairment of a major life activity. Treatments and services currently utilized to minimize the impact of the condition should be described, as well as recommendations for accommodations in a post-secondary setting.
