Academic Advising Hotline

The Academic Advising Hotline is a resource to help students resolve academic advising concerns or request additional assistance for academic advising matters (Academic Advising Hotline Form). It is also a resource for students to acknowledge an outstanding academic advisor for their service and commitment to student success (Academic Advising Kudos Form).

Academic Advising Concerns

Students are encouraged to attempt to first resolve the concern/s with their assigned academic advisors by employing the following steps:

1. Check Starfish, WebSIS, and/or Degree Works for advisor's contact information
2. Contact assigned academic advisor to resolve concern
3. Allow three (3) business days for the academic advisor to respond.

If the student is still unable to resolve their concern, only then, the student is encouraged to submit an Academic Advising Hotline Form.

Academic Advising Hotline Form Submission

The Academic Advising Hotline Form requires a Morgan State University email and a student identification (ID) number. Students must provide detailed information about their advising concern as well as the measure/s they have taken to resolve the issues before contacting the Advising Hotline. Students may also attach any documentation that is relevant to their academic advising concerns. Even though a student's information (name, email, and ID) is collected, the student can request that their name be omitted when the concern is forwarded to the person/s and/office mentioned in the form.
