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.
