Student Academic Advising in the College of EducationAcademic advisement is an essential key to the success of each student. The overall objective of academic advising is to help students realize the maximum educational benefits available to them at the College of Education at Florida A&M University. Academic advising may include all aspects of academic program planning, including deciding on course adds, drops, or substitutions; the use of midterm grade information; career decisions; changes in major, decisions about extra-class activities; etc.
The components of the academic advising system work together to achieve goals and objectives that include:
- helping students develop an educational plan and choose an appropriate course of studies to meet their academic and life objectives
- ensuring that students are aware of opportunities and resources that can assist in achieving their educational goals
- assisting students in interpreting university policies and procedures, and applying general rules to their specific cases
- facilitating resolution of academic problems, conflicts and concerns, as appropriate
- referring students as necessary to other resource units
- collecting and disseminating information on student needs, wants, perceptions, and trends in order to enhance institutional effectiveness and adaptability
Goals of Academic Advisement:
- to identify activities that support retention, progression, and graduation
- to increase advisor involvement with students
- to aid in the prediction of enrollment trends (past and future)
- to create happier students
- to create and foster a climate of caring
- to build a culture of student retention
