Academic Advising, Course Scheduling and Academic Assistance:

Academic advising and future course planning can be scheduled with Brett Barclay by calling 864-294-3160 or by e-mailing brett.barclay@furman.edu. We encourage students to get advised each semester or as often as questions arise. We strive to make advising and planning as convenient as possible for working students; as such, e-mail, phone and face to face advising is available at the discretion of the student. Please let us know what is most convenient for you.

Many students find that with certain course subjects that they have not studied for a while, some assistance is needed to get caught up and to understand course material. As a UES student, all academic services such as The Furman University Academic Assistance department is here to serve you with your academic needs. In addition, tutors can be acquired, free of charge, by using the online Tutor Request Form. Please take advantage of this valuable service as you see fit.

For some students, a simple plan and access to academic tools is necessary to get the semester off to a good start. For confidential, one-on-one assistance with these issues, please contact Brett Barclay at 864-294-3160. Your academic success is our primary concern.
