Academic Advising

Academic advising is an interactive partnership between a student and an academic advisor. Through teaching and learning experiences, the student sets goals, acquires information and services to make decisions consistent with interests, goals, abilities and degree requirements.

Academic advising at Texas A&M University is an important component of student learning and degree completion, contributing to the academic success of all students through:

• Supporting student achievement of the University Learning Outcomes and commitment to lifelong learning
• Being responsible to and respectful of the individual student
• Encouraging commitment to lifelong learning by directing students toward opportunities to interpret, reflect upon, and apply their classroom experiences in ways relevant to their careers and their lives
• Interpreting and conveying Texas A&M University’s mission to students
• Supporting the educational policies, procedures and values of the department, college and university; likewise, academic advising relies on the support and resources of the university, college and department
• Involving other university programs, services and individuals, when appropriate in the advising process
• Being responsible for professional academic advising, training, development and practices to ensure knowledge and skills stay relevant.
