BComm Advising

The BComm Academic Success & Advising Centre provides students with advice, support and engagement opportunities to make the most out of their degree. BComm Academic Advisors are experienced in helping students navigate their degree program and academic journey in the BComm Program and Saint Mary's University. Academic Advisors strive to empower students by helping them learn about the resources, strategies, and tools needed throughout their time in the BComm program.
