POSITION PURPOSE
:
As a unit under the Division of Strategic Enrollment Management and Student Support, the Department of Undergraduate Advising is responsible for supporting students throughout their academic journey by providing guidance and resources to ensure their success. Through a case management model, academic advisors offer personalized support tailored to the unique needs of each student. This includes assisting with class registration, academic planning, and helping students navigate their degree requirements.

The department also plays a key role in connecting students to essential campus resources, such as faculty mentoring, tutoring, counseling, and career services, ensuring they have the tools and support necessary to thrive. Additionally, advisors foster student development by encouraging engagement in co‑curricular activities, academic exploration, and timely progress toward graduation.

Under the general supervision of the Director of Undergraduate Advising and with daily lead direction from the designated Advising Coordinator, the Academic Advisor is responsible for delivering consistent, accurate, and up to moderately complex academic advising services to both current and newly admitted/readmitted students, from their first year through degree completion. The Advisor provides information on policies, procedures, and academic requirements related to specific programs or majors within the assigned college.

Additionally, the Advisor supports students in exploring career paths, assessing academic strengths, connecting them to student support services and resources across campus, and establishing goals. This role is focused on providing academic guidance that promotes student success, persistence, and timely graduation. The Academic Advisor will also collaborate with various campus stakeholders, including staff, faculty, administrators, and colleagues across divisions, to foster student achievement.
