What is Academic Advising?

Advising is an essential component in a student's life when pursuing academic achievement. It is a process that assists students in the clarification of their career goals and the development of educational plans for overall success. In the College of the Arts, our academic advisors promote a growth mindset, utilize data/predictive analytics to identify at risk students, optimize technology and advising tools to enhance real-time, meaningful interactions (Face-2-Face and online), and build positive relationships with our students. Students come to advising for Coaching, Mentoring & Degree Planning; our team of advisors are dedicated to student success through proactive and developmental advising. Faculty and Professional Academic Advisors value the personal interactions with our students, these interactions are high value experiences that educate & empower our students. Ultimately, advisors provide guidance and support to advance our students both personally and academically.

At 蜜桃影像传媒有限公司网站, advising is a collaborative, mandatory process designed to help students; 

  • Succeed academically,
  • Develop an appropriate educational plan leading to graduation, 
  • Focus on their life beyond the university, and 
  • Play a responsible and proactive role in their own education.
