Statement
on Academic Advising
At Benedictine University academic advising is grounded in Benedictine values
and the University mission. It is an interactive process between the advisor and
student and is supported by technology. The goal is to promote each student's
academic, career and personal development.
Faculty and staff are committed
to creating a decision-making framework through which students can identify and
realize their educational goals. Although academic advising is a collaborative
function of both student and advisor, the final responsibility for satisfying
University and major requirements rests with the student.
The student
actively participates in the educational decision-making process.
Students
will:
- Become knowledgeable of all the University's
academic requirements, policies and procedures
- Develop and maintain
a plan for a course of study
- Keep an accurate record of academic activities
and documents
- Value the role of the advisor by preparing for and keeping
advising appointments
- Initiate and maintain open and honest communication
with the advisor
- Access additional University resources to facilitate
the decision making process
The advisor listens to and guides the
student through the educational decision making process.
Advisors will:
- Foster the student's sense of responsibility for his/her academic
progress
- Help the student obtain accurate information about educational
and career options, academic requirements, policies and procedures
- Help
the student plan and monitor an educational program consistent with individual
interests and abilities
- Assist the student in maintaining an accurate
record of course registrations and completions
- Be available on a scheduled
basis for academic consultation and advice
- Refer the student to appropriate
University resources
