About the Advising Resource Center (ARC)
The ARC was established by the Academic Advising Task Force and has five main objectives. They are to:
- provide accurate and thorough referral services for students which enhance access to academic advising, counseling, and other student services they seek;
- assist advisors in developing a working knowledge of the range of counseling and student services available to students, and answer questions they may have in assisting individual students;
- provide a program of coherent and timely training and professional development for campus academic advisors;
- collect and maintain data about advising practices nationally and at the university; and
- consult with colleges and departments about aspects of good advising practices, recognition and rewards for advisors, and assessment of advising practices.
NOTE: The ARC does not provide academic advising services for students, but instead helps students to connect to the appropriate academic advisor or student service professional.
