Job Description

CHHS academic advisors assist students by using a developmental model to develop the knowledge and skills and personal accountability needed to explore their academic and co-curricular options, evaluate and track their own progress toward graduation, access support and enrichment services, and understand and follow university policies and timelines. Academic advisors should commit to student success and the ability to listen and analyze academic needs, generate reports on academic progression, give graduation-oriented advising, and collaborate with faculty in CHHS to provide additional information/services/ programming to majors. The position will also participate in new student orientations and other events as necessary, and develop a thorough working knowledge of campus support services and referral processes. Each academic advisor participates in academic programming and makes recommendations to academic program coordinators regarding academic program plans. In addition, the academic advisor is involved in university service through participating in the Academic Advising Improvement Team or other university or college committees related to academic advising, student success, retention, and graduation. S/he assists unit academic administrators and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in recruitment, retention, and success initiatives as determined.

The position is responsible for providing accurate academic advising to individuals and groups of current and potential undergraduate students in the College. Advisors proactively communicate with students who have poor mid-term grade performance or who have other risk factors for retention and/or success. Advisors assist in the management and operation of the CHHS Advising Center as determined by or in consultation with the Director, and assist in preparing reports related to student enrollment and progression. The position contributes to the professional development of fellow colleagues and unit-level advisors. On occasion, academic advisors are involved in creating and implementing student programs that focus on improving student success, retention, and graduation (i.e., College’s Learning Community, 49er Rebound, University Convocation, Transfer Student Program, Prospect for Success Program, etc.).
