HMC
Advising Handbook

Advising is a central responsibility of all faculty members at Harvey Mudd College. Each of us guides students through our major or departmental requirements; many of us serve formally as advisors and mentors to students in their first year, and all of us are called upon to answer questions about the broad set of general college academic regulations.

This handbook offers a quick reference for questions commonly asked by students and their advisors and provides basic information about the core program and graduation requirements. The handbook can provide a convenient complement to collegial sources of information about advising including department chairs, core coordinators, the dean of faculty and associate dean of academic affairs. The handbook is revised annually — please let your departmental core coordinator know of any desirable additions or corrections.
