What is Academic Navigation?

At the University of Miami, your academic advisor is your Cane Navigator. 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.
