Academic Advisor II

Academic advisors provide specialized academic advising services to students and advising-based perspectives to University colleagues and public stakeholders, such as students, family-members and prospective students. By integrating excellent interpersonal and communication skills with intermediate knowledge of curricula, policies (departmental, School, and University), resources, and student development, the Advisor helps students identify options, set academic and developmental goals, and make progress toward those goals.

The advisor assists in the development of advising programs and initiatives that facilitate student engagement, success, and retention, provides advising data, and collaborates with academic and other University operational units on matters that impact student recruitment, success, and retention.
