Academic Advisers assist students with academic issues, such as understanding program requirements and choosing courses to meet degree requirements. An Academic Adviser can be a Professional Adviser or a Faculty Adviser.
Professional Advisers work with new students who have not declared a major, students who are changing colleges, transfer students, students who are returning to the university after an absence, and students who have been suspended.
Faculty Advisers work with students who have declared a particular major.
There are also advisers who help students in other areas of academic life, such as Financial Aid Advisers who help students in all aspects of financial aid and scholarships, and Career Services Advisers who help students explore various career options.
