*Blue Ridge Campus had no professional advising until September
An Institutional Advising Council (IAC) has been formed to standardize policies, procedures, and practices for all advisors – professional and faculty – and ensuring all UNG students receive a standard quality of support from academic advising across institutional units, colleges, and campuses.
- The IAC will set advising caseloads/practices, maintain degree maps, and ensure seamless transition of students between departments/majors.
- Prescribe and track data-driven key policies and practices:
- establish standards for tracking students, proactive outreach, and record keeping;
- ensure all advisors and coaches leverage the common advising system in the same way across each advising unit;
- update DegreeWorks to help students track their own degree progress and allow for advisors and coaches to coordinate a student’s plan of study through graduation.
- Establish regular training for first-time advisors and annual training for all continuing advisors – professional and faculty – on rotating topics, such as the standard use of technologies.
- Deploy standardized degree maps proactively to guide students to make informed decisions about the costs and time-to-degree for different academic options
Challenges:
Full implementation of this objective will require human resources and will need to be phased in over time.
