Welcome to Brock University!

I am Joe Ferraro, and along with my colleagues, Diana deMan, Dan Portanova and Catherine Carlucci, we are the Central Academic Advising team within the Office of the Registrar.

We assist students in the Bachelor of Arts Social Sciences and General Humanities programs, along with the Bachelor of Science - Sciences program.

Academic Advisors educate students on university rules and requirements along with ensuring students are registered in their appropriate courses.

Please make a point of knowing who your academic advisor is and knowing how to connect with them.

Also, take the time to educate yourselves on the great campus resources that Brock has to offer to ensure an excellent start to your university career.

We wish you all the best on your future studies and we are happy to have you as part of the Brock community!
