Academic Advising

Academic advising is a form of engaged learning by which students learn about their roles in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community, critically reflect upon their roles and responsibilities as a student, and prepare to become global citizens.

At ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, academic advising is a process that focuses on three fundamental areas:

  1. Accurate academic information
  2. Relationships across the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community
  3. Time-bound in the form of when benchmarks, including graduation, should be accomplished

The Mission of the Office of Academic Advising at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is to serve the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community by partnering with students to offer holistic, student-centered academic advising which focuses on: self-advocacy, degree attainment, and life as a global citizen.

We fulfill this mission by:

  • Focusing on individual student needs and interests to promote equitable success for all students.
  • Fostering meaningful connections between students and professional staff.
  • Supporting the transition of incoming students through the ELN 1010: First Year Advising Seminar program.
  • Engaging with faculty and staff as collaborative campus partners.
  • Facilitating the understanding of university policies, procedures, and the exploration of resources.
  • Implementing dynamic, ongoing assessment and training towards the development of best practices.
