Academic Advising Services

Academic Advising

Advising is available to students admitted to the Smith School of Business through the Undergraduate Studies Office, 5th floor of USG Building III. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Summer office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) Advising appointments are generally available from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. To schedule an appointment with your assigned advisor please call 301-738-6079. In addition, current students can meet with the advisor on duty by coming to the office during scheduled walk-in advising hours. The weekly walk-in advising schedule is posted on the 4th floor and is also available by calling 301-738-6079. (Walk-in advising hours are for current students. Prospective students should attend an Admissions Workshop, Transfer Visit or Open House. Due to the size of our program we can not meet with prospective students during our weekly walk-in advising hours.)

All Smith School undergraduate students are assigned an academic advisor. Students enrolled in the Smith School undergraduate program at Shady Grove are required to meet with their academic advisor each semester to ensure that they are informed about current requirements and procedures. If you are unsure of your advisor please stop by the 4th floor of building II for assistance.

Career Advising

All Smith undergraduate students have access to both the Robert H. Smith School of Business Office of Career Services and the University of Maryland, Career Center in Hornbake Library.

The Smith School Office of Career Management has a main office on the College Park Campus in Van Munching Hall and a satellite office at the Universities at Shady Grove. For walk-in advising hours or to arrange an appointment with your Smith School Career Counselor please email Ranetta Hardin.
