Academic advising plays an important role in the quality of a student’s undergraduate experience. Academic advising includes:
- Planning an educational program that is consistent with the student’s interests and abilities
- Conveying accurate information regarding curricula and academic majors
- Describing and making referrals to appropriate campus resources
- Exploring career related goals and experiential learning opportunities
- Developing a positive advising relationship based on competence and trust
The College of Arts & Sciences Advising Services staff serves as a resource to assist faculty and students with all academic and advising concerns. Please visit the links provided within this website, particularly the General Advising Guides, for guidance in tailoring your advising appointment to specific student needs and for appropriate referrals.
