HSA Advising
Since the HSA program is integral to the College鈥檚 mission and curriculum, each student is assigned an HSA faculty advisor in the Spring of their first year. The HSA advisor becomes the student鈥檚 point of contact for making decisions relating to the HSA side of their academic program. Where possible, the faculty member from whom a student takes HSA 010, the department鈥檚 core course, becomes the student鈥檚 HSA advisor. Each student also has an advisor in their major and a first-year advisor to help them navigate the Harvey Mudd core.
Students work with their HSA advisors during course registration to help plan their course selections and ensure that they are meeting all of the HSA requirements. The HSA advisor is also available to provide guidance regarding a student鈥檚 academic goals and opportunities.
Students and their HSA advisors have access to a special 鈥淗SA Advising鈥 section of the College鈥檚 student information system (the Harvey Mudd 鈥減ortal鈥) that is used for planning upcoming HSA course selections and tracking a student鈥檚 progress through the HSA program. Students can find a link to their HSA advising record on their 鈥淪tudents鈥 page within the portal.
Information on advisor assignments is available on the portal and from the Office of the Registrar. If a student鈥檚 HSA advisor takes a sabbatical or a leave, the registrar鈥檚 office assigns a temporary advisor and notifies the student of the change in late June. The temporary advisor has full access to the student鈥檚 advising record.
