Mission (adapted from the Council of Academic Standards, http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Profres/standard.htm
The purpose of Fort Lewis College's academic advising program is to assist students in the development of meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their life goals. Our assistance includes:
- development of suitable educational plans;
- clarification of career and life goals;
- selection of appropriate courses and other educational experiences;
- interpretation of institutional requirements;
- enhancement of student awareness about educational resources available (e.g., internships, study abroad, honors, and learning assistance programs);
- evaluation of student progress toward established goals;
- development of decision making skills;
- reinforcement of student self direction
- referral to and use of institutional and community support services; and
- collection and distribution of data regarding student needs, preferences, and performance for use in making institutional decisions and policy.
The ultimate responsibility for making decisions about educational plans and life goals rests with the individual student. Academic advisors assist by helping to identify and assess alternatives and the consequences of decisions
We subscribe to the National Academic Association's core values of academic advising.
