Academic Advising

Academic advising is an active, ongoing exchange between the advisors and students, grounded in teaching and learning. Advising is based on students gaining accurate and appropriate information and direction to help make their educational experience relevant, coherent, and meaningful. It is a process that assists students in connecting with the University of Arkansas, making thoughtful decisions related to their academic experiences, and maximizing their educational and career opportunities. Quality academic advising is essential to achieving the University’s vision.

Academic advising can be one of the most important resources in your educational experience. Your advisor can help you explore programs of studies, understand academic policies and procedures, select appropriate classes, and review your Academic Progress. Basically, your advisor can help you navigate through your college experience.

Meet with your academic advisor each semester to discuss your academic goals, plan your coursework, and delcare or modify your Program of Study, including majors and minors. 

For additional information about the advising process in your college, contact your dean’s office or visit the Academic Advising Council website.
