  • Develop an educational plan and establish career goals, with the guidance of your advisor.
  • Meet regularly with your advisor. Plan ahead by visiting with them early in the semester and not waiting until the last minute before registration.
  • Come to appointments prepared with questions and/or topics to discuss and participate fully in the advising experience.
  • Understand how to navigate the course registration site and enroll in the courses in your academic plan.
  • Know the general education and program requirements for your major.
  • Check MyUVU often for email messages from the university.
  • Become knowledgeable of campus and online resources and follow through when referred to appropriate campus resources.
  • Graduate in a timely manner based on your academic plan. Accept responsibility for your decisions and actions that affect your educational progress and goals.

Advisor Responsibilities

  • Provide a safe space in which to share your thoughts, aspirations, concerns, and interests, maintain confidentiality with all information shared, and treat you with respect as an adult.
  • Actively listen to your questions and concerns while providing information and support as needed.
  • Provide guidance and encouragement as you develop a clear and realistic educational plan and assist you in making course and major decisions.
