  • Interpret and provide rationale for institutional policies, procedures, and requirements.
  • Through Collaboration with Academic Recovery and Student Support Programs, follow-up with the advisee on any report of unsatisfactory work (notice of class probation for poor attendance, notice of AP/CAP/SAP and/or failing grades, incomplete grades from past quarter(s), etc.). 
  • Stay involved with the department(s) represented in order to establish and develop relationships. Stay informed of curriculum, changes within the department, and anything that would affect the student. This will be accomplished through actively reaching out to departments, attending departmental meetings, meetings with faculty, staff and student leaders.
  • Maintain, through Google Docs, an up-to-date Advising Portfolio, with (but not limited to) a summary record of performance to date (grade reports, transcript, requirements completed, etc.), goals & objectives, dates of conferences/webinars/training, notation of special circumstances.
  • Inform and, if necessary, refer students to other institutional resources when academic, attitudinal, attendance, or other personal problems require intervention by other professionals. (e.g., ODS, Counseling, Student Life, etc.)
  • Proactively contact and be available for student advisees on a regular basis.
  • Attend and participate in training programs as assigned
  • Help department plan, prepare for and execute Golden Eagle Days & Orientations
