Academic Advisors

Academic advising extends the mentoring relationship between students and faculty, as they work together to plan a meaningful learning experience at PAFA.

All students have a faculty advisor in their major/concentration department beginning in their second year. Advisors work individually with their advisees each semester to discuss their interests and goals and to build a full schedule of classes and critics.

Disability Services

PAFA is committed to assuring equal educational opportunity and full participation for all students. Disclosure of a disability is voluntary, and a student’s responsibility. A student with a documented disability may be eligible to receive assistance through the Office of Student Services. Eligibility for reasonable accommodations is determined on a case-by-case basis after comprehensive documentation is reviewed.

Documentation must be current (within the last 3 years) and directly submitted by a qualified practitioner who is not related to the student. It must consist of a comprehensive assessment and include evidence of substantial impairment of a major life activity. Treatments and services currently utilized to minimize the impact of the condition should be described, as well as recommendations for accommodations in a post-secondary setting.

To submit documentation and request accomodations, visit the Office of Student Services on the third floor of the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building, or contact [email protected].
