Goals of academic advising

Academic advising promotes intellectual discovery, encourages students to take advantage of both in- and out-of-class educational opportunities, and helps them identify and achieve their goals. In addition, advising supports students’ successful navigation of the University’s academic opportunities, policies, systems, and procedures. Working with advisers, students assume responsibility for their education and become lifelong, self-directed learners and decision makers. Academic advising is a collaborative teaching relationship among academic advisers, students, faculty, and the University community.
