Academic Advising

The goal of academic advising is to assist students in planning meaningful academic activities to obtain the desired degree. The Guidelines for Academic Advising serve as a framework to enhance and improve the advising process and interactions between students, faculty and administrators. NU offers Academic Advising to its students on a fair and equitable basis by advisors who have the skills and training to provide timely academic advice. The Academic Advisor provides a personal and supportive environment in which students can pursue their educational goals.

Every student is assigned an advisor who helps the advisee to:

Understand study requirements, including, among other things, course selection, course prerequisites, course sequencing, assessments, and progress towards degree completion.
Identify and access campus resources and services in support of student success.
Identify and achieve their academic goals.
Take advantage of both in/out-of class educational opportunities to become self-directed learners and decision makers.

It is important that students meet their advisors regularly in order to make the right decisions at the right time.
