New Student Advising!

The First-Year Advising Program at Lyon College supports first-year students pursuing a challenging liberal arts education by providing them with individualized, holistic guidance regarding curricular requirements, academic policies, student success practices, and campus resources. This means we tailor your advising visits with us to reflect your needs and your goals, and we equip you to use campus resources to get where you want to go in life.

If you have any questions about your academic advising experience, please do not hesitate to contact us at fyadvising@lyon.edu.
