General Advising Information
NACADA Core Values of Academic Advising
The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) is an organization
of professional advisors, faculty, administrators, students and others
from a variety of settings who do academic advising or otherwise work
to promote quality academic advising on college and university
campuses. As members of this organization or of the profession of
academic advising, or as others who advise or provide related programs
and services to students, we must recognize our responsibility not only
to students and the institutions in which our advising is done, but to
society, to colleagues, and to ourselves.
