Inclusive University-Wide Approach
University Academic Advising provides central coordination for the Advising Network through the Provost Office to enhance the campus-wide student experience. This framework benefits from university-wide institutional structures collaborating with departmental and disciplinary approaches to advance academic advising on campus.
University-wide coordination provides a foundation for enhancing equitable student advising experiences, determining strategic outreach, and utilizing data to increase the positive impact of advising services. University-wide advising training, professional development, advisee caseload management technology, and communication supports ASCs and advisors.
Note: The following committees are in the process of being created or updated and are subject to change through Summer Semester 2025.
