Academic advising is an essential and central pillar of the educational system. It represents one of the important services that positively affect the student’s development academically and professionally. The primary goal of academic advising is to help students choose the appropriate academic majors according to their scientific potential, interests, and the labor market needs. It also prepares and guides them to choose the appropriate courses according to the academic plan.
The academic advisor introduces the student to the college, its deanship, and its supporting departments, and helps them obtain the college services in cooperation and coordination with the concerned department in the college. The academic advisor also educates the students on the academic difficulties that they may face, and on how study plans and schedules are prepared.
