Advising Resources

Where do I go for Advising at UAS?

Where you go for academic advising depends on your degree program and/or the main campus you attend.  Students will be assigned to a staff or faculty advisor at the time of admission.  Students can expect to be contacted by someone from their degree program when they are first admitted, but it is up to the student to make contact with his/her advisor.  You can contact the Student Resource Center (SRC) to find out who your assigned advisor is if you do not know. Call us at 796-6000/877-465-4827 or visit us on the first floor of the Mourant Building in Juneau.

Who is my advisor?

If you are unsure of your advisor assignment, or are interested in applying for a degree program in order to have an advisor assigned, please contact the Student Resource Center at 907.796.6000 or stop by the bottom floor of the Mourant Building.

Responsibilities

It is essential that both you as the student and your advisor have a clear understanding of your own and each other’s responsibilities.  In general, the student and advisor can expect the following:

Student Responsibilities:

  • Make and accept responsibility for decisions about academic, career, and personal goals
  • Develop plans to meet these goals
  • Learn about degree requirements for your program and catalog year you are admitted under
  • Schedule and keep appointments with your advisor
  • Be prepared for advising sessions by having a list of questions and any paperwork or information from earlier advising sessions
  • Seek help at the first sign of trouble; do not expect problems to be resolved without action on your part
  • Explore ways to enhance your education

Advisor Responsibilities

  • Help students define and develop realistic academic goals
  • Review student plans to reach goals and suggest alternatives if needed
  • Provide an integrated picture of UAS in regards to courses, procedures, requirements, policies, and university goals
  • Be available for appointments on a regular/predictable basis
  • Explain curricular options, answer registration questions, teach students to build appropriate schedules
  • Help explore problems, seek solutions, and make appropriate referrals
  • Help identify special needs and related resources and opportunities
