Through individual, collaborative relationships with academic advisors, students are best able to define and implement sound educational and vocational plans that are consistent with their personal values, goals and career plans. Academic advisors represent and interpret University policies and procedures to the student and help the student navigate the academic and organizational paths of the institution. The University acknowledges its obligation to provide students with accurate and timely academic advising, delivered through its academic departments and colleges, as well as through additional units and offices devoted to specific student populations such as undecided and conditionally admitted students.Role of Academic AdvisingCAS Standards on AdvisingThe mission of Academic Advising Programs (AAP) is to assist students as they define, plan, and achieve their educational goals. The AAP must advocate for student success and persistence.NACADA Concept of Advising Curriculum, Pedagogy, Student Learning OutcomesNACADA Statement of Core Values of Academic AdvisingAdvisors are responsible to the individuals they advise.Advisors are responsible for involving others, when appropriate, in the advising process.Advisors are responsible to their institutions.Advisors are responsible to higher education.Advisors are responsible to their educational community.Advisors are responsible for their professional practices and for themselves personally.Goals of Academic AdvisingStudents will identify values, abilities, interests, and limitationsStudents will develop an educational plan consistent with these that will lead to career and life goalsMission StatementAdvisors in the Pott College will strive to enhance student success by providing timely and accurate advising information, assisting students as they define and plan their educational goals, and by empowering students to make wise educational decisions.ValuesAcademic Advising in the Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education reflects the university’s commitment to being an engaged learning community advancing education and knowledge through collaborating with students in a dynamic and interactive process by which students are able to define and implement sound educational strategies.Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)A FERPA tutorial and online training program is available through myUSI. After logging into myUSI, look for the gold certificate icon to the left.The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access.Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.ADVISOR RESPONSIBILITIESmaking advising readily available;tailoring the advising approach to individual students;being responsive to discussions of student's personal values and goals as they relate to academic and career-related needs;providing accurate and timely information about institutional policies, procedures, resources and programs consistent with the needs and characteristics of their advisees;conveying information on academic requirements, policies, and procedures as well as graduation requirements for the chosen curriculum;assisting the student in identifying and pursuing educational goals and objectives and in securing information about career opportunities;monitoring progress toward advisee's educational and career goals using major four-year plans, Degree Works, and other resources; andbeing sensitive to issues relating to the student's retention at USI, and making appropriate referrals when necessary/possible.Effective academic advisorsrecognize that academic advising is an extension of the teaching/learning process;engage in academic advising that develops students' ownership of their overall academic success rather than just semester course scheduling;are available and in contact with advisees often, during registration periods and during other times throughout the academic year;monitor student progress and suggest appropriate correction or re-evaluation of academic goals;invest time in learning how to assist students with academic, career and personal decisions that will lead to student success;learn about University policies, programs and procedures that will contribute to student success; convey them to students and make appropriate referrals when needed;stay current with all policy changes and new information pertaining to students' academic decisions and success.STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIESdetermining a course of study that satisfies the requirements defined for the appropriate degree in the USI Bulletin;scheduling and appearing promptly for appointments with the advisor when necessary;preparing for an advising session by having a list of questions and courses (and alternatives) needed;being knowledgeable about policies, procedures, and requirements as published in the Bulletin;being prepared to discuss personal values and goals as they relate to academic and career-related needs;following through with appropriate action after the advising meeting; andaccepting responsibility for the academic decisions to be made.STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES OF ADVISINGstudent knows degree requirements student knows college and university policiesstudent uses an education plan to manage progress toward degree completion and goalsstudent engages with appropriate resources to meet individual needs for successstudent appreciates how personal characteristics relate to career and life goalsstudent values having a sense of ownership of one’s educational experienceAcademic PoliciesBulletin CalendarThe UniversityAdmission requirements: Financial Assistance Enrollment StatusFees and ExpensesUndergraduate Academic Information and Policies Academic RecordsRegistrationGrades and Grading PoliciesPolicies and ProceduresAcademic ProgressGood StandingAcademic ProbationAcademic DismissalClassificationFresh Start ProgramGrading SystemReadmission ProceduresProvisional ReadmissionSchedule ChangesWithdrawalCourse Repeat PolicyChange of Academic ProgramChange of Academic BulletinThe Honors ListPott College Advising PoliciesRetention Initiatives - Effective Fall 2014AdvisingAll students are required to meet with an advisor each semester.
