About Academic Advising

Resources for HCHC Students

Advising

Advising can be defined as offering constructive counsel and guidance to undergraduate and graduate students in order to assist them in meeting their academic and professional goals. An advisor helps to evaluate students’ skills, talents, and performance as well as assists in the selection of coursework and other academic and training programs that will further their academic and professional development. Advisors collaborate with the Advising Committee to make sure that all parties are aware of relevant expectations for progress throughout the program.

Mentoring

Mentoring is an active process by which faculty establish and foster relationships with HCHC students by offering guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing not only students’ professional goals, but also their competence and character. Mentors listen actively to mentee’s concerns and care about their personal and professional well-being. Mentors help HCHC students develop their strengths, work through challenges, achieve academic excellence, and advance professionally in career paths of the student’s choosing. Mentors act as advocates and role models for their mentees and are committed to helping HCHC students meet their personal and professional goals.

Expectations

While a student should always have an “official” advisor, students generally benefit from having a broader network of mentors with complementary strengths. HCHC students are encouraged to build a network of mentors.
Central to Academic Advising are the following expectations. Students should:

Understand and respect that each advisor and mentor brings different perspectives, experiences, strengths, and interests.
Recruit multiple mentors and advisors if available.
Be proactive.
Communicate clearly and frequently with an advisor about expectations and responsibilities, ensuring with each communication that there is mutual understanding.
Meet regularly with their advisor to review progress, goals, challenges, and future plans.
Work with their advisor to develop a timeline for completing academic requirements and meeting professional goals.
Seek, welcome, and respond to feedback.
Be knowledgeable about departmental and HCHC policies.
Take advantage of additional resources across HCHC and beyond.
