Academic Advising
MIAD’s holistic academic advising program is based on a close student-advisor relationship and uses the full range of college and community resources to inform and support students.
With the support of their advisor, students learn to use MIAD’s curricular, career, financial and co-curricular opportunities to best realize their academic, career and personal goals.
Students meet with their advisors at designated times during the academic calendar and on an as-needed basis. For more information, contact Mónica Lloyd, Director of Advising, 414‑847‑3275, monicalloyd@miad.edu.
