Undergraduate Advising in SJMC

Undergraduate Academic Advisor Sandra Kubat is the main point of contact for questions about course selection and fulfilling academic requirements toward graduation. She can also provide general career advice as it relates to your academic program.

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Students can schedule academic advising appointments with Sandra via Starfish. This will allow you to view her calendar and select a 15 or 30-minute slot which works best.

If you are hoping to get a time with Sandra that is not showing up in Starfish, please send her an email. Please note – if you have a quick question or two, please feel free to send her an email directly and you can likely resolve the questions without the need for a 15 or 30-minute advising appointment.

To schedule via Starfish, you can either select the Starfish icon in your MyUW page or you can use this link.

Please note – we try our best to accommodate SJMC tour requests for prospective students, but availability may be limited during peak academic advising times. Please reach out as far in advance as possible of our UW visit day so we can attempt to accommodate your request.

Students interested in applying to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication who have not previously applied and would like information about the application process should consult our undergraduate admissions web page. This page will update early in each semester with the application for the following semester and dates of upcoming information sessions for applicants. Consider attending one of the information sessions; they provide far more information about the J-School and the application process than can be given in an email or advising appointment, including tips for completing each piece of the application and a Q-and-A about the process.

We welcome all questions about the J-School and our major and application process, and look forward to hearing from you!
