Generally, the academic advisor is here to make sure that you are aware of every opportunity
available to you. Advisors provide guidance for developing and achieving meaningful educational,
professional, and personal goals.
Successful advising depends upon a shared understanding of, and commitment to, the advising
process, by students, advisors, and the university. Academic advisors engage students in learning,
promote students' academic success, and foster students' personal, ethical, and intellectual growth,
all of which will carry into their roles as citizens, leaders, and lifelong learners. Once students
declare their majors (typically at the end of the first year), they are assigned to faculty advisors
within that major. Nevertheless, students can still access the Dean's Office advisors throughout their
academic careers for college-level issues (for example, transfer credit and general education).
ADVANTAGES OF HAVING ACADEMIC ADVISOR

primarily at the postsecondary level.

select a major.

to review the progress toward completing the proposed academic program and to
discuss grades and other performance indicators.

Academic advisors play a big role for students who have special needs or emotional
problems, and most of them needs counseling and the lucky if they can gain access to a
counselor more than a few times during a school year they benefit alot.
Yet all students, especially at the university level, need the support of a friendly adult
who cares about them personally; someone they can confide in, who can help them deal
with the problems and challenges that will facing in the university life so as to keep up
with their studies, and planning their careers.

personal direction.
For other academic advisors lack the professional training of counseling, meaning lacking
the ability of guiding someone psychologically.

different reasons such as more responsibilities, different classes, large numbers of students
to counsel and some personal matters.

about some problems that facing students.
Harsh language, there some other academic advisors that have high temper so they usually
treat their students harshly when consoling them whereby it brings hardness to the student to

Therefore, Every student organization must have a faculty or staff advisor to become a recognized
or sponsored student organization. The primary role of the advisor is to serve as a resource person
for the organization. Advisors will counsel and advise student organizations by asking the "tough"
questions, assisting students in their thinking process, and challenging the organization to go
beyond the status quo. Advisors also provide continuity for an organization as they can pass along
valuable information regarding the history of the organization and their past accomplishments. An
active advisor can improve the effectiveness of an organization while also assisting in the positive
development of the students.
