Academic Advising

What is academic advising? A well-trained cohort of advisors with University College evaluates the academic abilities and background of incoming freshmen. These advisors work with students to define and develop realistic goals. Through this process, they help students recognize their abilities and interests, identify any special needs and/or match students to available resources that may be required to aid in their journey to be successful.

When should I meet with an academic advisor? You’ll begin working with academic advisors during Hoggie Days New Student Orientation. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisers on a regular basis to monitor their progress toward their educational and career goals. This process provides a linkage between academic preparation and the world of work. As classes begin next semester, you may want to make an appointment to see an advisor if you encounter difficulties in your schedule. Before each semester ends, you will want to meet with an academic advisor to plan your schedule for the upcoming semester. Finally, you may be required to meet with an academic advisor as Early Alert and final grades are submitted to make changes to your schedule or develop a Plan for Academic Student Success (PASS) if we believe you are not achieving to the best of your ability.
