Academic advising is an important service that is crucial to the success of the university. High quality advising increases student satisfaction, retention rates, academic success and the likelihood of solid career placement. Advising can also create rewarding mentoring relationships that can be a wonderful experience for both advisors and students. Many students continue to stay in touch with their advisors after graduation, and that kind of personal connection is what students at a smaller school like Stevenson value.

All full-time faculty members and a few designated staff members serve as advisors for degree seeking Stevenson students. The Advisor Handbook which can be accessed below is designed to support you as an academic advisor with information and techniques that make this process more effective and efficient. The Office of Academic Support Services is always ready to support advisors. It is our goal to help you help students. = = = = = Typical Yearly Advising Sequence =
