Academic Navigation (Advising)

Cane Navigators are your main point of contact throughout your undergraduate career, from orientation to graduation. They play a critical role in supporting you holistically, addressing not only your academic needs but also your personal and professional development through your undergraduate journey.

Cane Navigator Role and Responsibilities:

  • Support educational and professional goals
  • Curricular planning
  • Provide registration overrides and permissions, course substitutions, holds, prerequisite checks
  • Help you track your degree progress
  • Reinforce academic policies and procedures
  • Academic interventions
  • Facilitate referrals & follow-ups
  • Connect to social, health, wellness, resources and services

Finding Your Cane Navigator:

All undergraduate students are assigned one Cane Navigator embedded in their primary school or college to support students with all of their academic planning needs, including additional majors and minors outside of a student's primary school or college. The Cane Navigator may need to consult their colleagues in other departments on occasion on behalf of their students, however, the goal is for students to not have to seek this guidance from multiple different Cane Navigator teams across the University.

Students who are pursuing and have declared a dual degree, meaning they are concurrently pursuing two Bachelor's degrees, are assigned a Cane Navigator for each degree, and will see two Cane Navigators assigned to them.

If you are unsure of who your assigned Cane Navigator is, please check CaneLink or Navigate for your student success team assignments. The directions below will show you how to view this information.
