Information for Academic Advisors

Academic Advising

Advising Handbook

A quick guide of centralized advising resources such as links to NACADA, Transferology, FERPA, the GPA calculator, and other important and often-used resources.

Academic advisors serving in an area of special interest (athletics, honors, ROTC, study abroad) ensure that students are aware of the policies, requirements, and pursuits of the respective area. They also work in partnership with first year and major advisors to integrate the students’ special interests with their degree plan.

Council of Academic Advisors

A forum for advising representatives from all areas to discuss relevant issues that affect students and advisors to increase communication and ensure accurate information is being distributed to students.
