Academic advising is the second most important function in the
community college. If it is not conducted with the utmost
efficiency and effectiveness, the most important function in the
college—instruction—will fail to achieve its purpose of
ensuring that students succeed in navigating the curriculum to
completion. The purpose of academic advising is to help students
select a program of study to meet their life and vocational goals.
As such, academic advising is a central and important activity in
the process of education. Academic advising occurs at least once
each term for every student in the college; few student support
functions occur as often or affect so many students. But while
there is general agreement concerning the importance of academic
advising for the efficient functioning of the institution and the
effective functioning of the student, there is little agreement
regarding the nature of academic advising and who should perform
the function. In this seminal work on academic advising, the
authors of three overarching chapters address the key issues and
challenges of academic advising followed by the authors of four of
the most innovative and successful programs of academic advising in
the nation.
