Academic Success

At Pace University, academic success is about more than just showing up to class—it’s about finding the right support, staying on track, and making the most of the resources around you. From personalized advising and tutoring to research opportunities and tools for graduating on time, we’re here to help you build a strong academic foundation from day one.

Academic Advisement

For new first-year students, you'll meet with the First-Year Academic Advising team at Orientation. The team will go over your course requirements and class schedule for your first semester at Pace. You'll also learn more about how academic advising works and find out who your academic advisor is.

For returning and transfer students, Academic Advisors are available to support students on both campuses. Students can contact their academic advisor directly through the contact information provided on each school’s Advisement webpage. Students who do not know their advisor can consult Degree Works in Portal, confirm through “My Success Network” in OnTrack, email whoismyadvisor@pace.edu.

Academic Calendar

The Academic Calendar outlines all important academic dates and holidays throughout the entire academic year (fall, winter session, spring, and summer).
