Academic Resources
At Santa Clara, you'll work one-on-one with a faculty advisor to explore your options, make program choices, get information about academic policies, and plan your curriculum. Your advisor will help ensure that you stay on a four-year track to graduation, even if you come to SCU with your major undeclared. In addition, the John B. Drahmann Academic Advising and Learning Resources Center offers advising assistance, tutoring, disabilities resources, and international student support.
