Undergraduate Academic Advising
The mission of academic advising at ASU is to further the teaching mission of the university by providing quality, accessible advising to all students. Academic advisors help students successfully transition to the university and make progress towards their educational goals and graduation. Advisors are part of the educational process providing academic information and guidance to help students understand curricula, policies, and procedures. Academic advising is a collaborative teaching relationship among academic advisors, students, faculty and the university community. Working with advisors, students identify academic and career goals, create and implement plans, and assume responsibility for their education. School of Community Resources & Development students are encouraged to meet with an advisor at least once a year to update information, go over academic plans and prepare for graduation.
