Module 1: Academic Advising at UAF will help you understand what your role is as an
academic advisor and why academic advising is such an important part of the UAF
student experience. Learning outcomes will be presented along with UAF policies
concerning mandatory academic advising and course placement. You will learn how to
access student information on UAOnline culminating in what every academic advisor
should know about academic advising at UAF.
(audio) Welcome to the wonderful world of academic advising! Academic advising is
one of the most rewarding and enjoyable activities you will engage in at this university.
As you will discover, academic advising is much more than just your signature on a
registration form and has far more impact than mere advice-giving. Academic advising is
an important part of the teaching/learning mission of UAF with its own curriculum,
pedagogy, and student learning outcomes.
Besides, academic advising is mandatory for all undergraduate students and every
single semester they will be knocking on your door, calling, emailing, or texting you
to “just sign off” on their registration form. Will you be ready?
Let’s see why quality academic advising is such a crucial part of student success. Role

Hint: Draw a line vertically down the middle of the page. Do you see a pattern? Draw a line
horizontally through the middle of the paper. Do you see another pattern?
Solution: The odd numbers are on the left half of the page. The even numbers are on the right
half of the page. The numbers also rotate every consecutive six numbers from bottom half to
top half of the page. Numbers 1 to 6 are on the bottom half of the page. Numbers 7 to 12 are on
the top half of the page. Numbers 13 to 18 are on the bottom half of the page and so on.
Try doing this exercise again now that you know the solution. See how much further you can
go now that you know how to navigate the system!
