Responsibilities

Academic advising is a process that assists students in the clarification of life goals and the translation of these goals into educational plans. It provides assistance to students as they explore educational opportunities and develop educational plans and objectives. Academic advising connects students with the University by bringing meaning to its mission, its curriculum and to the learning environment that is the University community. Academic advising is committed to assisting and supporting students with developing their educational, career and life goals. It provides access to campus resources, and coordinates the integration of all aspects of student life into learning experiences. It is an individualized avenue of communication that assists students in the planning and decision-making process.

Although academic advisors provide assistance, it is the student’s responsibility to know the university policies, procedures, requirements, and seek out assistance when needed. There are a variety of academic advising systems available at UCF in each of the colleges, schools, and the Division of Student Development and Enrollment Services.
