Academic Advising
The University of Michigan is fully committed to supporting
its undergraduate students. To this end, the University offers numerous
offices and services to assist students in their academic pursuits.
However, students are expected to take charge of their education.
If your son or daughter is having trouble academically, he or she
must take the initiative by seeking out the resources available
to help.

Academic Advising
Academic Advisors are provided
by the School or College in which your student is enrolled. The
advisor may be a staff advisor or a faculty member. A student may
continue to meet with the same advisor that he or she saw at Orientation,
or he/she can request a new advisor.
Academic
advising appointments allow students to spend time alone with the
academic advisor to discuss individual interests and course selections.
Academic advisors can also help students with academic planning
and decision-making; refer students to other appropriate resources;
and process necessary paperwork.
Some Schools/Colleges
require students to see their advisors each term to discuss course
selections. Other Schools/Colleges leave it up to the individual
student to determine whether or not academic advising is needed.
However, it is strongly recommended that even if it is not required,
students should meet with an academic advisor once each term.
In addition to Academic Advisors,
Academic Peer Advisors in the residence halls are trained to provide
academic information and assistance about some Schools/Colleges.
