Mission for Academic Advising:
Academic advising is a joint effort shared by faculty, staff and students. In this partnership, advising is not something advisors do to or for students, but something advisors and students do together over a period of time. The advisor’s task is to guide students toward accepting responsibility for mature, academic decision-making in relationship to career and life goals.
Goals for Academic Advising:
Academic Advising will help students to:
- Successfully access and navigate higher education.
- Clarify life and career goals.
- Develop goal-oriented educational plans.
- Interpret academic requirements and select appropriate courses.
- Access available internal and external resources that enhance their education.
- Identify other experiences that will enhance their life, educational, and cultural goals.
- Develop critical thinking, decision-making, and independent learning skills.
- Evaluate their progress toward career and life goals, degree completion, and transfer.
