Holistic Advising

What Is Holistic Advising?

At the University of Dayton, every undergraduate student is paired with a holistic advisor who provides personalized guidance from enrollment through graduation. In addition to providing academic advising, your holistic advisor will help you navigate University life, explore your interests and connect with experiential learning opportunities.

Together, with your Flight Crew, your holistic advisor will help you navigate challenges and achieve your academic, personal and professional goals.


"I want all students to feel seen and valued within our UD community. Beyond advising on courses and grades, I'm encouraging them to view well-being and balance as essential components of their success."
