Academic Advising

As a Nichols student, you will be assigned an academic advisor. Advisors help make sure you complete the requirements of your major, discuss strategies for academic success with you, and help you make well informed academic decisions. Full-time professional staff or faculty members will be assigned as advisors based on your major and academic year. You may contact the Academic Advising office at advising@nichols.edu.

The Academic Center for Excellence and Support (ACES) at Nichols College helps students become stronger, more confident learners and is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). We assist students in developing the necessary skills and strategies for successful learning and realizing their academic goals. Our primary goal is to help Nichols College students reach their academic potential through peer assistance.
