The function of the Academic Advising Taskforce is to review and support the academic advising system on our campus.  This will include:

• Determining areas where professional development is needed for advisors.

• Developing a training program and professional development opportunities for advisors that go beyond the mechanics of registration.

• Promoting “Developmental Advising” practices on campus (this does not refer to the Developmental Education courses offered on our campus; see http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Clearinghouse/AdvisingIssues/dev_adv.htm for more information)

• Working to ensure that advisors are informed about the advising system on our campus

• Looking for ways to improve our advising system so that the needs of all parties involved will be effectively met. 

Please check the new Advising Handbook Site  and Advising and Registration Guide pages for help with Advising and Registration.
