Advising Committee and Student Retention

The Advising Committee and Student Retention Committee supports undergraduate advising by recommending strategies, processes, and practices to enhance advising service delivery.  It focuses primarily on advising services that are offered to undergraduate students across the university who are in transition and need assistance identifying a best-fit major and/or minor. The Committee reviews processes and practices related to students in transition between majors, as well as the advising component of these transitions. The goal is to smooth the transitions between majors, identify populations of vulnerable students, and benefit timely degree completion for these students

University Academic Advising Council 

The University Academic Advising Council (UAAC) advises the Director of Advising and Exploratory Studies and the Associate Vice Chancellor and Associate Dean in DASA on strategies, processes, and practices that enhance the academic advising experience for undergraduate students. The UAAC includes faculty and primary role advisors, as well as other professionals who impact the advising experience on a daily basis. The Council meets at least 5 times a year to discuss the systematic campus-wide application of advising policy and procedures and to inform the development of a quality proactive advising experience of undergraduate students at NC State.

Advisor Professional Development Committee

The Advisor Professional Development Committee (APDC) is a representative group of faculty advisors, primary role advisors, and advising administrators who work collaboratively to determine advisor development needs and recommend professional development programs for all academic advisors on campus. The work of the AAPDC is informed by needs identified in advisor performance evaluations, advisor needs surveys, and feedback from the advising community.

Academic Advisor Assessment Committee

The committee will develop and recommend a systematic, coordinated process to assess the quality of the academic advising experience for undergraduate students and for advisors across the campus. The group will seek input from all colleges to review existing advising assessment tools and resources, to coordinate an assessment of advising process, identify tools and resources needed for the process, and to develop a timeline for implementation, with the goal of creating a consistent and quality academic advising experience accessible to all undergraduate students.
