Academic Advising
All students are assigned an advisor from their major’s academic department. A student's advisor is listed on your MAX account. A student can visit his or her advisor’s office hours to discuss their degree program here at MU and to get advice regarding their academic questions and the registration process.
If you are not earning a degree from MU, the Office of International Programs & Services can assist you with the process of registering for courses. Academic advice as to which courses you should take at MU should come from your home university.

Title IX
Sexual violence that occurs in the educational setting (on or off campus) implicates a federal civil rights law called Title IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities and which triggers certain responsibilities on the part of the University. Educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance are covered by Title IX. Since Millersville University is one of those institutions, ALL students are covered by Title IX.
