Advisors
Welcome to the UConn Undergraduate Advising Community
Academic advising is rooted in UConn’s mission of teaching, learning, and student success. Advising is a series of collaborative and purposeful interactions that teach and empower undergraduates to be independent decision makers and self-advocates as they pursue their unique educational, professional, and personal goals.
Through relationships with both students and campus partners, UConn’s advisors equip students with equitable and inclusive access to knowledge, resources, and opportunities; teach students the skills requisite for navigating the university environment; reduce barriers to academic success and persistence; and facilitate the growth and development of today’s leaders and global citizens.
The Office of Undergraduate Advising supports this mission through strategic communications, resources, and support for our community of faculty and staff undergraduate advisors. Through our advisor onboarding, training, and professional development efforts, we work to ensure effective, equitable, and culturally competent advising practices and to facilitate collaboration and build community between academic advisors and campus partners.
