Mission Statement
Academic advisors in the College of Nursing helps with course scheduling for individual students and serve as a vital connection between the student and university resources and information. Academic advisors help students connect to:
- An academic major
- General education curriculum
- Degree options
- Academic remediation
- Out-of-class activities
- Career services
- Study abroad options
- Non-academic support services
In addition, academic advisors are experts at explaining how things work at the university, including policies and procedures about registration, financial aid, petitions and appeals and graduation. They can be trusted to provide all of this with accuracy, in confidence, and at the right time. Knowing the student as an individual allows the academic advisor to consider the student’s skills, abilities and interests. The advisor also encourages students to assume responsibility for their education by helping them develop planning, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
