The new policy is implemented. Summer 2000 4. Advisors and counselors elect a representative task force to meet quarterly to review and evaluate the policy and administrative guidelines, and to make recommendations when appropriate. Fall 2000 and Ongoing. This recommendation could be implemented with existing resources.
Several factors contribute to the inadequate advising services.
Helping students with scheduling is not part of the faculty job description. During peak periods for advising, campuses often bring in part-time workers to assist with advising. Training for advising is minimal. Assign each student who declares an educational goal an advisor who is qualified and prepared to assist the student in career options, degree plans, and scheduling. The college should formalize the student and faculty advising relationship and operationalize the advising function by defining specific responsibilities.
