Academic Advice and Support
Now that you're a Jumbo, you have a bunch of people and departments that are ready to help you make progress towards your degree. Here are the "123's" of Academic Advice and Support at Tufts.
All Jumbos have a team of advisors, including a special team for BFA students on the Fenway campus:
BA and BS students will meet with an assigned Pre-Major Advisor during Orientation; they'll help you register for courses. Combined Degree and BFA students will speak with a member of the SMFA Advising team over the summer and in person during Orientation for course registration. Student Success Advisors are another great resource on the Medford campus and can help BA, BS, and Combined Degree students explore majors and navigate University resources.
First- and second-year students have a special office to help get their college careers started. With a particular focus on underrepresented student groups, OSSA provides programming and connects students with co-curricular resources:
The Academic Resource Center supports your learning beyond the classroom by offering free individual and group sessions that focus both on specific content areas and skills that transfer to various academic situations. Their programs promote engaged, collaborative learning by building on your strengths while addressing your concerns and questions.
