At LUMS, the Advising Units are deeply invested in the success of the students. The University endeavours to ensure that quality academic advising is available and accessible to all students, customised to each stage of the students academic experience. Advisors can help students to plan their degree or to take advantage of unique opportunities available such as study abroad options.  They provide guidance to students assisting them in making informed academic decisions in light of their academic, professional and personal goals. 

Mechanisms of Advising 

Each school at LUMS has designed an advising system that seeks to provide students with the appropriate information and support. Depending on the school, this advising system may involve faculty advisers, staff advisers, and peer advisers. Further, most schools have different advising-expectations and advising-supports depending on the class year (first-year, sophomore, juniors, senior, super-seniors).
