Academic advising is a collaborative partnership between advisors and students in which advisors assist students in exploring/clarifying academic interests, making educational plans, and using information and campus resources to help achieve academic goals.

Whether you're an undergraduate or graduate student, seeking out the correct academic advice is vital to the success for any university degree.
