The Academic Advising Team!

• Students are assigned an advisor who will work with them till graduation.

• They meet every semester.• Advisors are knowledgeable about degree

requirements, will monitor progress towards graduation, and help students learn about resources and opportunities.

The Advising RelationshipWhat can students expect of an advisor? • Welcomes students and cares about their successes in and out

of the classroom.• Helps students explore strengths, interests and abilities.• Teaches students to navigate Purdue and Krannert’s polices and

procedures. • Helps students to understand degree requirements and give

course recommendations.• Assists students with academic issues and concerns.• Monitors students academic progress and performance. • Refers students to opportunities and resources. • Answers questions or points students in the right direction!

Students are required to meet with their assigned advisor at least once a semester. For information on the Krannert Advising team, visit our website.

The Advising RelationshipAdvisors expect students to: Be open to discovering who they are where interests lie. Review myPurduePlan and use it to monitor degree progress. Check their Purdue e-mail account at least once a day and respond as

needed. Know Purdue and Krannert’s policies and procedures. Develop personal and professional goals. Be aware of campus resources and services. Not be afraid to ask for help. Understand that college is different than high school and therefore the

expectations for success are different.

Remember, students are required to meet with their assigned advisor at least once a semester. For information on the Krannert Advising team, visit our website.

The Advising Relationship

What is your role in academic advising? You have the most important role---a supporter and encourager. Encourage your student to contact his/her advisor BEYOND just registering

for classes. Ask your student if they’ve been checking his/her Purdue email. Help your student navigate (not necessarily fix) challenges when they arise.

Remind them, their advisor may be able to help. Encourage your student to seek out hands-on experiences in related work

environments through getting involved with student organizations on campus, volunteer opportunities, part-time work or internships.
