Academic Navigation at Miami Herbert

Academic Advising is a collaborative process through which students, guided by Cane Navigators, realize the maximum educational benefits available to them. Cane Navigators assist students in gaining a better understanding of themselves and how to utilize the resources available at the University of Miami and the Miami Herbert Business School to achieve their educational goals. 

Principles Guiding the Academic Navigation Partnership 

• You are the driver; share your thoughts and aspirations with your Cane Navigator.
• Stay flexible and adaptive. Registration is not a one-day process; it requires ongoing assessment of waitlist positions and new sections that may become available. 
• There is no such thing as a perfect schedule.
• Academic Advising meetings are 30 minutes.
• Walk in Meetings are 10-15 minutes.
• Working with your Cane Navigator is a shared responsibility intended to build trust.
• You and your Cane Navigator create an academic planner.
• Our mutual goal is to work together on a clear plan toward degree completion.

Before an Advising Meeting 

• Review the following information listed in the University of Miami Academic Bulletin
  • Review your degree requirements
  • Review your major area of specialization requirements
• Formulate clear and concise questions
• Contemplate how you might want to customize your undergraduate degree
• Consider a Study Abroad semester or experience
