The Advising Center is committed to assisting students in the development of meaningful academic plans that are compatible with their professional and life goals.  Academic advisors guide students from their first contact with the College through graduation and beyond.  We introduce incoming students to the opportunities and resources of the College, inform new and returning students of the requirements of academic programs, assist students with the selection of a major and the appropriate courses to ensure academic success, and counsel students regarding transfer opportunities.

Other services provided by the Advising Center include:

• Assistance with course registration, adding and dropping classes, and course withdrawals
• Transfer Credit Evaluation
• Information on Challenge and CLEP exams
• Change of Advisor
• Change of Major
• MassTransfer and Transfer Counseling
• Permission to Take Courses at Another Institution
• Graduation Reviews
• Referrals to other campus resources

Students registered for 12 or more credits are assigned to an academic advisor who may be a member of the faculty or professional staff. The services of the Advising Center are available to all students at MassBay; however, our main visitors are those without assigned academic advisors, such as part-time, evening, undeclared, and incoming students.  The Center has both day and evening hours, and students may be seen by appointment or on a walk-in basis.  We are located in Room 113 in Wellesley Hills and at the first floor Enrollment Center in Framingham.
