Advising Services - A Partnership with Faculty
Crockett and Habley (1987) expressed the following about
advising. We use this definition to show the multi-faceted
responsibility that the advisor faces with today's college student:
"Academic Advising is a developmental process
which assists students in the clarification of their life/career
goals and in the development of educational plans for the
realization of those goals. It is a decision-making process by
which students realize their maximum educational
potential through communication and information
exchanges with an advisor; it is ongoing,
multi-faceted, and the responsibility of
both student and advisor. The advisor services as
facilitator of communication, a coordinator of
learning experiences through course content and career planning and
academic progress review, and an agent of referral
to other campus services as necessary."
