Objectives of the ARC
The ARC was established by an Academic Advising Task Force convened in 2001. The ARC has five main objectives:
- 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.
Academic Advising Task Force II was convened in 2010 and produced a second report identifying additional recommendations for strengthening academic advising at the UA (appendices).
