Information for Students
Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between a student and an academic advisor. An academic advisor is distinguished from all of the other professionals who assist students towards their academic goals in that they are the only individuals with the authority to certify when all graduation requirements have been completed. In other words, they alone can say when you are ready to graduate!
In order to ensure a satisfying advising experience, students should understand the roles and responsibilities of academic advisors, students, and the institution within the context of the advising process; and should also become familiar with policies and resources on the UA campus.
