Our team of professional academic advisors are here to provide support in navigating your time at the School of Data Science. It is critical to build skills around self-advocacy and help-seeking, and we encourage students to hone these important skills early and often.  

Every student has an academic advisor at SDS. Students can locate and schedule an appointment with their advisor from the bottom of their Stellic account, under My Support Team.

Data Science Student Portal

Located in Canvas, the Data Science Student Portal gives current students one-stop access to advising and career information, events, and updates.  

Stellic

Stellic is the University's online advising platform for students to schedule appointments with our academic and career advisors, track their degree requirements and progress, and plan future semesters.
