How Advising Works

Advising is a partnership between the student and the academic advisor, essential to the academic experience and student success. Academic advisors are the primary contacts to the Schack student community; they guide and support students in achieving their academic, personal, and professional goals. Students are responsible for fully engaging in their academic experience by making informed decisions about their academic, professional, and personal goals.
