What is Academic Advising?
Academic advising is a collaborative process between you
and your advisor. Your academic advisor is a professional
staff member whose purpose is to help you get the most
out of your college experience. Working closely with
your advisor can help you set and achieve goals, connect
with campus resources, and make responsible decisions
consistent with your interests, goals, abilities, and degree
requirements.
What can I expect from my advisor?
• Care, respect, and support as you explore and
define academic, career, and personal goals.
• Assistance with academic planning that is consistent
with your values, interests, and strengths.
• Accurate information regarding academic
requirements, University policies and procedures,
and campus resources.
• Guidance as you begin to understand the nature
and purpose of higher education and your role
as a student.
What is expected of me as a student?
• Understand that you are ultimately responsible for
creating your educational, life, and career plans.
• Take the initiative to access, understand, and utilize
campus resources to gather needed information
and make informed decisions.
• Maintain open and honest communication with
your advisor.
• Take responsibility for choices you make as a
student and member of the University community.
