Resources

The UA offers numerous resources, both for students and for the professional development of the advising community.

Advising Policies and Procedures

In addition to University policies from the Academic Catalog, advisors and students must comply with various college and department-specific policies and procedures. 

Special Student Populations

Although all students must adhere to the policies of their departments and of the University, first-year students, graduating seniors, international students, returning students, athletes, and transfer students often have special needs or interests.

Online Tools

Gaining access to and becoming proficient in the use of the UA's many online tools and systems is key to efficient academic advising.

Dates and Deadlines

Although students are ultimately responsible for adhering to dates and deadlines, advisors can assist by referring them to the University's many calendars.
