Academic advisors are meant to provide educational counseling for students. The academic advisor's primary responsibility is to evaluate the student’s study plan to ensure it will satisfy university requirements while it meets each student's specific needs. The academic advisor's duties are:

The advisor is expected to deal with students academic, career, and personal problems.
The academic advisor helps his/her advisee students examine the course offerings in their major and understand their graduation requirements.
The academic advisor helps the student explore the career fields within his/her major, and obtain related career information and survey job opportunities.
The academic advisor serves as a link between the student and the administration by counseling the student on matters of failure, on the procedures for dropping and adding courses, course scheduling, and academic progress.
The academic advisor must alarm students of the exclusion procedure well in advance, and of any subsequent changes that might be enforced during the course of their studies.

The student has to meet with his/her academic advisor every semester prior to his registration for the next semester. The goal of this meeting is to review with the student academic requirements. Another meeting with the academic advisor should be held during the eighth week of each semester in order to review the student progress in different courses. At any time, the student can take an appointment to meet individually with his/her academic advisor to discuss his/her overall program of study, his/her career plans, or any problems he/she encounters in the program.
