PALss will be assigned at the start of students’ first year at LUMS and will remain in contact with students till the end of sophomore year. Students will be offered a mix of mandatory and voluntary meetings with the PALss. Students will have mandatory one-on-one sessions with detailed agendas to discuss progress in the first two years with their staff advisors. Undeclared students can also reach out to designated faculty reps to meet their advising needs. Students have mandatory meetings with Staff Academic Advisors at least once in both their First and Sophomore year.
