Advising Info for Faculty & Staff
Advisor's Bulletin
The Advisor's Bulletin is a resource for faculty and staff academic advisors. Each bulletin contains timely information to help students succeed.
One-on-One or Departmental Advising Training
Is there an aspect of advising in which you'd like individualized training or consultation? Trainings and workshops are available through the Academic Advising Office. If interested, contact Kim Dufour, Interim Director, 898-5712.
Classroom Presentations
Do you feel that your students could benefit from learning more about the "New GE," "How to Read the DPR," or "How to Explore Majors?" Our professional advising staff is available for classroom presentations. We are pleased to offer workshop sessions that meet your scheduling needs. View a full list of our Advising Workshops for more examples of the information we can share with your students.
Professional Academic Advising Staff Available by College
As a faculty advisor you may have questions regarding general advising or how coursework within your college may double count. Feel free to contact the liaison for your college.
