Advising Appointments
An academic advisor serves as a student’s primary point of contact for questions relating to academic processes, course registration, and general academic questions.
How to Find your Advisor?
To determine who your advisor is: simply access Banner SSB. Click on the “waffle” menu in the top left corner (four white squares next to the UMW logo), then select Student, and then select Student Profile. Your advisor is listed at the bottom middle of your profile page.
To schedule an appointment with your primary faculty advisor, please either give them a call via their office phone number listed in the UMW directory or send them an email requesting a meeting.
If your primary advisor is Mrs. Jennifer Cirbus, Mr. Brian Strecker, or Mr. Charles Tate – please call 540-654-1010 to set up a meeting with them in our office.

Our office serves as the primary place to help with the following:
- General Education Requirements
- Registration Advising (primary advisor is in Academic Services)
- Transfer Advising
- Readmission Advising
- Reinstatement Advising
- Suspension Advising
If you need help with any of the above, please call us at 540-654-1010 to schedule an appointment. Advising appointments are Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 4:00pm
Note: If the University is closed, appointments for that day are cancelled. If the University opens on a delay or closes early, appointments prior to the opening and after the closing are cancelled. It is the responsibility of the student to reschedule in these circumstances.
