You can find your assigned advisor(s) by logging onto NavigateMason. You may see major advisors, minor advisors, success coaches, and other support staff listed.
Navigate is in the process of being retired at George Mason. It will remain available to current and graduating students only until May 22, which is the last day to make an appointment (same day) using this system. After this date, Patriot Connect will be your primary means to schedule appointments and access the support services needed for your success!
Starting May 1, Pre-Orientation Advising is available to new undergraduate students who have completed their Patriot Connect Preview Modules. Once your preview modules are complete, go to Patriot Connect to schedule an appointment with an advisor in your program. Patriot Connect is George Mason’s platform designed to enhance your student journey. It will be your go-to for student success scheduling—such as academic advising, student success coaching, learning services, and more—ensuring you have the support you need to reach your goals at George Mason. Students who receive Pre-Orientation Advising are still required to attend the virtual and on-campus sessions.
If you are not yet assigned an advisor for your major or would like to speak with an advisor outside of your major, visit the college/school/program’s advising website for more information about their advising services and how to meet with an advisor.
