How You and Your Faculty Advisor Should Work Together

The advising process is designed to help students as they make important decisions related to their academic progress at the University.  In CABNR, each student is assigned to an advisor.  As a recently admitted student, you should become familiar with the advising process.  Below are some guidelines to follow throughout the year.

When to See Your Advisor:

  1. To discuss any problems which might affect your academic performance.

  2. To select courses for the upcoming semester.

  3. To discuss your academic progress.

  4. To discuss dropping a class.

  5. To discuss career considerations.

  6. To find out more about a particular major and/or option.

  7. To file your graduation application.

How to See Your Advisor:

  1. Become familiar with your advisor’s office hours/schedule.

  2. Whenever possible, call to make an appointment instead of dropping by without one.

  3. Right before registration is typically the busiest times for advisors.  Make an appointment as soon after Class Schedules come out as possible to avoid the rush.

  4. If you just don’t feel comfortable with your assigned advisor, don’t hesitate to ask to change. 

 What You and Your Advisor Should Do:

You should:

  1. Contact and keep in touch with your advisor.

  2. Make and keep appointments or call if it is necessary to change or cancel an appointment.

  3. Come with specific questions in mind.

  4. Come with necessary materials (pencil/pen, class schedule, DARS report, etc.).

  5. Ask about other sources of information.

  6. Be open concerning school work, study habits, academic progress.

  7. Prepare a preliminary schedule of classes you think you might want to take the next semester prior to your appointment.

  8. Make the final decisions concerning options discussed.

 Your advisor should:

  1. Keep appointments or call if it is necessary to change or cancel an appointment.

  2. Provide accurate and specific information.

  3. Have resource materials on hand (UNR catalog, advisor’s manual, etc.)

  4. Suggest other resources that may be of assistance to you.

  5. Listen and help you solve problems.

  6. Check your schedule for appropriate selection of courses.

  7. Suggest options in terms of courses, majors, options, careers, etc.
