Job Summary/Basic Function
Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between a student and an academic advisor with the intent to assist the student in developing meaningful educational experiences consistent with personal interests, values, and abilities. Effective academic advising also helps the student utilize the extensive network of academic support services available on campus, and empowers the student to realize the full undergraduate experience at Middle Tennessee State University. Academic advisors provide academic assistance and individualized attention to promote each student's success at Middle Tennessee State University by sharing knowledge, experience and insight that is beneficial to the student. The advisor's role is to help the student evaluate and realize educational and career options. This requires the advisor to:

• provide accurate and consistent information
• clarify program requirements, policies and procedures
• assist the student in identifying appropriate institutional resources
• facilitate relationships between the student and other individuals on campus who may provide assistance
