Academic Advising

Moby Dick

"Queequeg!—Queequeg!"—all still. Something must have happened. Apoplexy! I tried to burst open the door; but it stubbornly resisted. Running down stairs, I quickly stated my suspicions to the first person I met—the chamber-maid. "La! la!" she cried, "I thought something must be the matter. I went to make the bed after breakfast, and the door was locked; and not a mouse to be heard; and it's been just so silent ever since. But I thought, may be, you had both gone off and locked your baggage in for safe keeping. La! la, ma'am!—Mistress! murder! Mrs. Hussey!

About Us

Students at St. Lawrence University are expected from arrival on campus to take primary responsibility for their own education in the liberal arts. As we are fond of saying to each student, "Ya Gotta Have a Plan!" That is, each student is embarked on a four-year trajectory involving courses, major(s) and minors, study abroad, internships and career exploration, and extracurricular activities. Most students arrive here with a plan that, as experiences are had and challenges are met, changes over time.
