Academic Advising helps students achieve their educational, personal, and career goals by providing guidance and assistance in the decision-making process. Students should work closely with their advisors to plan workable educational goals, to understand the degree options and requirements, to understand the financial implications of their decisions, to assess their strengths and challenges as scholars, and to clarify realistic career objectives for themselves upon graduation.
