Advisor Responsibilities

Student Responsibilities

We will:

Provide contact info and post office hours.
Clearly communicate curriculum, requirements, policies and procedures.
Make referrals to other campus resources as needed to meet their educational and personal goals.
Provide accurate and relevant information.
Act in the best interest of students.
Guide and assist students through the course selection, registration, academic and career exploration processes.
Treat advising conversations as confidential (in accordance with FERPA guidelines).

You are expected to:

Set, change, or cancel appointments with your academic advisor in a timely manner.
Meet with your advisor on a regular basis and come prepared to your advising appointment.
Be open and honest about your educational goals and ask questions about issues you do not understand.
Follow through on advisor recommendations, suggested actions, resources and referrals.
Understand and accept that you are ultimately responsible for your education and decisions.

Tips for successful advising appointments

See your advisor every term, even if it isn't required.
Come prepared for your advising appointment by bringing any questions you have so your advisor can address them (you may want to keep a running list of questions in the Notes app in your phone).
Arrive on time for your appointment. If you are late, you are cheating yourself of time with your advisor. Call or go online to cancel an appointment you cannot keep.
Be honest and open (advisors cannot read your mind).
Use your advisor as a resource. Advisors are familiar with many programs and services on campus. If you do not know where to go for help, let your advisor point you in the right direction.
Please be respectful and professional. Refrain from any cell phone use or texting during your appointment.
