The Academic Advising Center (AAC) oversees academic advising for Duke students until they declare their major during sophomore year. Through the AAC, students have a network of advising resources and services available to help them explore the many curricular and co-curricular opportunities at Duke. You can send a quick, general question to advising@duke.edu and someone will respond; you can schedule a virtual appointment with one of the AAC Advising Directors if you have questions that require more time than a quick drop in meeting; and you can meet with a Director of Academic Engagement (DAE) who can help you make the most of your time at Duke.
